I will never buy a new car, I hate all the bullshit that comes with it. Made me laugh with that newish VAG engine in the Polo that's turbo and supercharged, 1.4 getting 160bhp and 38mph. The K Series VVC gets almost identical power and MPG... nice one for getting that power out a 1.4, but who gives a toss. More stuff to go wrong. I don't recall seeing any engine that has good power and returns a high MPG figure compared to the VVC K series/KV6. 30mpg and 180bhp from a "crappy old Rover", that'll do me fine.

Think when ZS's are too few and far between I'll look at driving a kit car as a daily driver, fast and good on fuel, that's the result of being light!
