Kid Dynamite 5874 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Loved it personally. Not the nicest looking car but perfect for what I need. 20mile round trip commute, free charging at work and free parking in Durham/Newcastle city centre Every electric spot is taken up by a PHEV these days unfortunately. I work with a bloke who plans his trips 20miles at a time so he never has to use petrol. Would have made more sense just getting an electric car and doing 100miles before a charge. If I had the cash I would have bought Tesla Model S. 300miles to a charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Once had a golf company car. Most uncomfortable car I ever had. As for Phev's. Ours is the main family car and our lasses work car so during the week it's petrol free, but for family trips out, holidays etc, we need the petrol option. Still don't trust the reversing camera though and scary as shit when a fly lands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13804 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Really? It's a camera ffs. Mine even has augmented reality, it shows the overall reach of the car in blue & red lines. It can't be wrong, it's maths & an actual camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5874 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Just spotted the VW garage I've bought my car from is selling a near identical car, with 8k extra on the clock for £1000 more ? Makes me wonder what's wrong with mine!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8929 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Leaf goes back in 2 months. Just put a deposit on a VW Golf My lass recently bought one and fucking loves it. She's complained about it stalling, but honestly I think that's her not being very good at judging the bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5874 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I rang the garage and asked why my car is a grand cheaper than the shitter one they also have for sale. He reckons the boss just decides the prices and for whatever reason this one was a good deal. I'll be fucked off of the car stinks of wet dog or something after I've made the round trip to Loughbrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to read the small print with whoever you choose. The odd chip or scratch is us ally fair wear and tear. Stained seats I think you would be dipping in your pocket. Worth looking at salary sacrifice through the HMRC for car leasing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
