what kind of runarounds do you guys use for when your car is getting work done or daily drive or do you use you gt 365 days of the year?? ill admit i drive a 97 fiat cinquecento 1.1 sporting for the runaround cheap insurance and stupidly light on petrol and suprisingly quick wouldnt think it to look at it :p :haha:

I drive a daihatsu sportrak 1.6 16v its a small jeep got a winch lift kit and offtoad tyres, use it as a work horse and for sum fun. Couldnt fault it with the snow didnt get stuck once. But its just as bad if not worse on fuel as my starlet. Lol

Drive my Glanza all year round, snow, ice, flood you name it -) any conditions, any time! I thought about a second car - but then I want to drive what I enjoy to drive, not just look at it and drive at the weekend!

we have one of them for work, we had the fourtrak before though and in comparison we thought the sportrak was crap in the snow, dosnt have the weight the fourtrak has. but was still more use than the car

Hear Hear! I use the starlet for a family car and going to work, shopping etc. I`m a family of four and believe it or not the wife and kids like it. It`s a BIG little car with a unique driving experience. i`ve had big cars but for now this little jem fits the bill.

2000 Volkswagen Passat T red D red i B5 what a car cant fault it so comfortable and economical and we got it for 1,500 euro a bargain with 2 years Nct just added a fuel system treatment to it on Tuesday on a trip to Dublin and were still on the same tank of fuel and theres plenty of poke in it for when I need it the only downside to it is the tax is fairly high

I've driven my Glanza every day for as long as I have it up until before Christmas when my Turbo seals went so I'm in the process of sorting it out but with the lack of work in this country at the moment its taking a little longer than I'd like but good things come to those who wait.......
