All good things ..
Well after two years and 70k in very old t25 avensis I've retired the old girl...and bought.. a vauxhall. Yes I m disappointed but the wife decided. Kept the avensis though, she'll now do 4k a year instead of 4k a month!. New motor us ok; it's a insignia Sri diesel on a 12 plate. Boot is smaller and it's short on back seat space too. It has Sat nav and all the other toys but the ride at low speed is appalling and despite being the eco model it's only managing 8 mpg more than my standard, 12 ye
Right 2 weeks in...1300 miles in a week, 900 miles to one tank of diesel and averaging close to 60mpg (would've been more but hammered it today) and can report this....i like it. My back as adjusted and I'm now fine, it handles really well and is good on a run. Stereo isn't as good but I can forgive that. Nav is good as is the bluetooth. In short...better than the avensis BUT I don't think it's fair to compare them.
In summary I still have a big soft spot for Mr T and doubt I'll ever sell it
