Ok folks, here goes, but before I get started I'll list down the rides I've owned...

2. VW Golf 1.1
3. VW Scirocco GLi
4. VW Scirocco GTX
5. BMW 7.30i AUTO SE
6. BMW 320i Coupe
7. BMW 525i SE AUTO
8. Nissan Micra 1.3 GX
9. Currently driving a Mitsubishi Spacewagon 2.4 GDi (Due to six kids)
and now a joint owner of an A2 1.6FSI, 2003, 2 Owners, Metallic Silver, FSH, 38,000 miles, ABS, ASR, MOT & Tax till May 2010... for £5K.
Please tell me I've not been mugged?
Anyway, first thoughts...
The firm suspension was felt immediately, it's a little noisy at high revs especially when travelling between 80-90mph down the M1. I left Northampton with just under half a tank and arrived at East London with just under a quarter averaging between 70-80 mph.
I can see myself saving a bit of money here.
Build quality and ergonomics are great, the mrs loves it, the neighbours love it, the ladies love it... I think the mrs don't want me to drive it!
I'm currently spending £200.00 per month on fuel in the Spacewagon which takes about £50.00 to fill up and returns 200 miles through traffic, please tell me I'll be spending less than half of that!
Till next time, a cuppa cha and samosas are on me!
Sarge, if your in Upton Park (East London) anytime give us a shout I want to meet Shoby.
