Hi all, I work in London and live in Southampton and this gives me a 190 mile round trip to work and back! I currently use the train only driving a limited number of days a year which as you can imagine can be pretty costly in my Leon Cupra. Current travel costs per year are about £4000 for me at the minute and I'm thinking of buying an Arosa for the commute!
The TDi springs to mind as best choice and I have worked out diesel costs at approx £3129 per year, this is based on 50 MPG. My question is, is this 50 MPG figure realistic at high speeds....i.e. 90 mph??? Also what are the service costs and has anyone insured theirs as a second car? If so how much was this??? I also understand the new tax for this class is £50 per year?
Any info greatly appreciated!
Cheers
