It matters to me now, I'm sick of the lack of power in my 1.2, can't wait till I can afford to sort an XE

Im feeling that
My cars disgusting just now, manky inside & out, the boot leaks & has sinse I got it, ive got a new mysterious puddle apeared on the rear passenger footwell - not sure where its coming from, tell folk its my water feature  A bit of trim fell off so I hid it in the glove box. My newly painted front end is now stone chipped to buggery 3 months later, some clown drove into the back of me last week, & I think its funny. So long as its reliable, slightly quick, & looks ok I dont give a shit about anything else...........I could even say its only a car Something wrong with me?

Tax is slightly cheaper, insurance is negliable tho the car is a couple k dearer to buy in the 1st instance. I probably save around £1k a year on fuel, taking the increased purchase cost over a petrol model theres no real saving until possibly the 3rd year of ownership.

Surprising the difference really. I guess you have to do mega miles to warrant a diesel.
