Yep.
My current car has 1.5 stars, and I care about this much ||
But as we've already said, you don't buy a hothatch if you're concerned with running costs, for obvious reasons !!
You should be looking at little Diesels.
Nope.
But I like to drive a fast car. You can't have a fast car with good mpg, and cheap tax. Power and Running Costs are mutually exclusive. I choose to drive my 200bhp car, knowing full well it uses pap loads of fuel, and tax and insurance are much more than they have to be.
As above, crash safety doesn't concern me. The way I look at it : If it's got any, then it's a bonus !
Nope.
You'd have to pay me BIG money to convince me that any silly little tinbox cars are good. I like a big, comfortable car, that can get me places quickly and smoothly.
Rubbish. As a driver's car, it's the best of the current bunch.
Go and buy this month's Evo magazine - there's a feature on exactly the subject in question !
