A Skoda Rapid diesel. Sips fuel, pulls a caravan, lots of room inside, has carried numerous bags of rubble to the tip when working on the house, and is easy to drive (so my wife loves it).
I have a bike too (In fact 2 of them, one goes into the MX5’s boot!)
A Peugeot 3008, this is the 3rd one in less than a year!
1st one mileage was getting to “that point” so the hire company took it back and gave me a replacement.
The replacement was the GT line, with a sport button
That had to get replaced with the standard model a couple of months later after I hit a dog (killed it outright) doing 50mph on a 60mph road - it ran out from roadside vegetation - countback on the dashcam 1, (nearly) 2 from it appearing to be hitting it - I never had a chance!
The Peugeot will be getting replaced (soonish) by a Vauxhall Insignia - getting moved on to a lease car at last! Had plenty of choices from the list - that one was the cheapest for tax with reasonable power (1.5 l diesel) - all the Peugeots were/are diesels.
Its the Brompton P6R, with the telescopic seatpost so the saddle can be removed, just goes into the boot of my NC with the puncture kit removed from its spot.! There’s a thread somewhere about the ND4, and also an old one of mine on this subject but I can’t locate it
The MX5 is the daily along with the Type R when the Dog is with us. The Griff 500 is my real toy & the only one I spend money on other than servicing. Took it out yesterday just for a blast & came home with a silly smile on my face!
Seen here in Brescia at the Mille Miglia museum where the Mazda has also been.
Really enjoy this as a daily drive, nippy and 50+ mpg, probably the best value Vauxhall I have had, as I used to work for them I think we must have had more than fifty, everything from a Nova to a Monaro.
I’ve looked at a 2019 540i, it’s on my maybe list for next spring. The B58 engine is truely phenomenal, so smooth and sounds incredible. My M140i with the same lump goes like the clappers too.
Sticking with a theme i have an X5 and an MX5! Family vs fun. Although the X5 is an MSport so not exactly boring but not as much fun to throw round the corners.
