Tom's China 1.8 Meridian 2014 - Project Deja Vu

Why up selling up

Fuel costs mainly...

Gone back to the noisy rattly vibratory engines....

Gonna miss petrol tbh, but needs must, and its part of a bigger plan.

How much more was it costing you?

You work around ipswich?

I don't work atm. Hence having to save any money I can.

1.8 was costing 19 pence a mile (33mpg)
I expect at least 50mpg in the HDi which is 13 pence a mile

At around 150 miles a week that's a difference of nearly a tenner. Might not sound much to most but that's a weeks shopping to me. Hopefully circumstances will changing soon though, with help from the HDi lol.

Ah cl just released you got this and the 3 door

3 door hid ftw

[Toms306]

Lol, yeah haha.

Must admit, the 5 door is more comfortable though. 3 door seats seem to be hard, is the same with the GTi seats in the breaker, and the XSi leaf pattern seats in the HDi. Suspension-wise it's fine, just the seats that are odd, will get used to it though I guess.
