Our new 90 will be with us in a couple of weeks, and when it is, it will be Wifey's everydayer.
Cheers, Pickles.

Every Day. Have covered 40k miles this year so far and many 700+ miles per day with one day covering from Chester to Rome and still feeling good enough to go to the bar. No, it doesnt have all the comforts, but then its a car to be driven plus theres very little chance of you falling asleep at the wheel with all the bumps and noises!!

The hybrid is just sitting there not getting any use.


Glad I'm not the only one with a hybrid too - carbon, milage and road tax offset for us Very Happy

Me and Mrs T alternate cars and days - keeps it fair as the 90 is technically hers (she paid for it) Thumbs Up

No, although sometimes I do drive it for no reason at all! Thumbs Up

I've got an Evoque too, but even leave that at home and take my little Citroen C1 as my commuter. I live in the countryside and only have a 15min drive through lanes to get to work. £45 a month for fuel Thumbs Up The Defender would be about £180 a month Craig Rogers
