I have so many questions!! Why is there a Lada on that list and why did you get rid of the Jaaaaaag ;)
The Lada was actually good fun, they built them for the Russian army as a Landrover equivalent, 2 tonnes of enamelled (yes) Russian steel that went anywhere. I loved my Jag, but at 16mpg and a small tank, I spent my life and all my money at the forecourt! When I put my foot to the plush Wilton carpet, I could actually see the fuel gauge fall.

16 mpg isn't bad, I used to get 8 mpg out of my X5 4.8is if I tried, had it down to below 6 mpg at times ;) That was running on LPG though so on petrol would have been a bit more :)

I found the D5 in the Volvo not to live up to its mpg claims as usual but I tired of 28 mpg due to the kind of car it is; the Audi does better than that!! It's a manual though and the Volvo was an auto and it's only a baby 163 bhp one and it's not a quattro one either so no more 4 wheel drive for the time being :D

Makes me pretty lame... 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee...

On the bright side: It is paid off, costs nothing in taxes, gets an oil change once a year and that is it. OK - I splurged on fancy headlights...

Mostly used to haul stuff around.

At least in one part I can compete... the 16 mpg is what I get  :angel:

I drive a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport with an absolutely useless and head scratching spoiler on it which was there when it was purchased.  Very soccer mom but funny enough the reason for having it in the first place is to transport bodies and caskets (guess what I do lol).  Covered with Doctor Who stickers and affectionately referred to by myself and friends as the WhoVan (custom plates coming at some point heh).

I just noticed this thread.  Another Miata owner!

When chatting with my electrolyst, I mentioned that I was transitioning because I was a Miata owner. ;)  They said I had to turn in my man card, so I said OK.

One fun item... Since I am follicle challenged, I wear wigs.  That means that when driving with the top down, I've had to master the art of the classic head scarf.  I feel so... so Audrey Hepburn! :)



In regards to turning in your man card because you have a Miata, the way I see it is a Miata is a great car for females  ;D

As the OP I thought I'd come back to this and see what's changed. Last time I posted I'd sold the big Volvo, bought a convertible Audi as a stop gap and ordered a brand new Range Rover Evoque. Sadly my order wasn't put in on time for MY16 and when MY17 was released the colour and wheels I wanted weren't going to be available. The car would also be slightly more expensive with the options I had chosen but the dealer was willing to find a way around this. In the end I didn't like any of the other colours so I cancelled the order and got my deposit back. I went back to Volvo and bought a 3 month old V60 which has been the worst car I have ever had and I fought with Volvo Finance to take the car back and they finally did a few months ago.

So my situation changed as I was offered another cheap runabout to get to work and I had room for a proper fun car again so I splurged on this...

I drive a Suzuki SX4 because it was cheap. It was a great buy, I have not had any problems with it for 6 years.

Last night I dreamed someone stole my car. I was so angry and sad. I hate dreams like that.
