How much your car costs you?

[PenguinGTI]

I'm about £5k a year on petrol... but I bought a GTI for one reason. To drive it! I know I could save money by getting a diesel or by cutting down my mileage (or by simply not using the power) but I absolutely love driving the car so I don't grudge what I spend on it. My car is my one big passion and it's also my daily transport so I'd rather be paying for something I love than paying less for something I don't.

I don't want to cry so Im nOt gonna ever start to add it up

[MK3GTI_16Valve]

I don't want to work it out but no one has included depreciation...some very cheap cars so won't apply for some...expensive bits of kit...we all have a choice so could buy a 1L car for little money but I know I'd be miserable driving it so I'll stick with my Cupra r..

Oh i don't know, quite like those little 1L Glanza's..

I didn't mean to cause upset and dismay my friend...Chin up. Atleast you are a cooler cat than 90% of other road users in a quicker than a quick thing mk4 

But I am going to seriously curb my addiction to modding as of immediately.
