RyanT Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) £900 worth of pure waftyness. I swear it's the best 'mod' I've ever to the 350Z, as it completely recalibrates you to what normal is, and makes you appreciate the Z so much more. Plus it's so refreshing having a car you care so little about. Leave it anywhere etc! Edited October 7, 2016 by RyanT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn good choice, plus you can do a tip run no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano94 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 My daily is a VW Up, something tickles me about my daily having half as many cylinders as my Z I actually really enjoy thrashing the poor little fella lol. They go surprisingly well once you get the revs up in second. I'd make a suggestion, but I have lost touch totally with UK prices, I have no idea what you can get with 1.5k. Mk4 Golf GTi? High mileage Alfa 159? Ahh the vw up's a good shout. Out of my budget but reminded me of the Fox or lupo. Always stayed away from alfa's for reliability reasons and think the golf gti mpg and insurance costs would be to high for me to save money. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk Alfa's actually aren't that unreliable, traditionally it's the rust issue (not a problem over here ), but the 159 is a solid (not to mention goppingly beautiful) car, and there are few cabins that are nicer to be in. Drive one, I promise you'll be surprised. How about a mk5 fiesta? There's not a bad thing to say about the car. I'll keep the 159 in mind and give it a chance lol Insurance was fairly high for some reason on the fiesta.

350_Jer Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) My 57 plate Vivaro van is my daily Another vote for a mk5 fiesta as a daily though, my Mum's had one for around 6 years and it's been brilliant, only things it's needed other than servicing are a new battery and a lambda sensor. Quite good fun to drive as well. Edit, just noticed you said about the insurance! Edited October 7, 2016 by 350_Jer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best steering in a small car I've ever used (feels a lot like a focus, unsurprisingly I guess) and a sorted little chassis. I never would have guessed the insurance companies would know that though, after all it's just a fiesta...guess they're smarter these days.

Erni902 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 My daily is my Zed and it averages the same mpg as my weekend toy but that is also my Zed so I realise this is absolutely no help to you whatsoever but you did ask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The F is my daily .......... however I often jump into my sons Seat Arosa to run around in - it has all of 998 horses and looks at slight inclines with horror .......... consequently mpg is awful (about 35 max) as you have to rag it to get it going anywhere with a max speed of about 55 with hurricane Mathew behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 If I had to have a cheapish daily, then my ~£2k would be going on a Clio 182. Fun to drive and relatively cheap to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modo Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Hilux Invincible 3:0 double cab. Does about the same per gallon as my Zed. Normal rear wheel drive with selecrable 4 wheel. Surprisingly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 If I had to have a cheapish daily, then my ~£2k would be going on a Clio 182. Fun to drive and relatively cheap to run. And probably faster than a Z on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Chrysler 300C with the same 5.7L v8 as the RAM above. Plenty of space to chuck stuff in and ferry people about, but I miss a hatchback for weird sized objects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four wheeled as in has four wheels, compared to two of a motorbike LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
