I had to drive to Newbury in a Vauxhall Corsa. it was so unhappy in the wet all I could do was potter along at 70 and hope it didn't leave the road when it felt like it :(

I once got landed with a Fiesta diesel while my car was in a garage over night. I drove it from Worcester to Telford without taking my right foot off the floor once, amazing how easy full throttle gear changes are in a diesel! It didn't seem very economical though, perhaps it's just hype about diesels?:rolleyes: :D

I once drove a Hire fiesta with about 100 miles on the clock for 300 miles. Engine was rattly as a 100,000 miler CVH as I handbraked it into the depot, perked it up and handed the keys in. I only took my foot off the floor if I was braking, and fuel wasn't a problem as the MOD has their own petrol stations.

Deffo not!!
Which is why you never buy a car that has a dealership logged as an owner. Normally means its been cained within an inch of its life from new and never serviced properly

Glad to hear these vehicles have been put to good use!
Remeber going back to a dealer 2 mins after picking up a loan car (they gave me absolutely no petrol at all) and commenting how this Lexus LS400 did not seem to have traction control!

Anyone tried a Seicento Sporting in the wet?
I was going to turn right at the roundabout but somehow I went straight on.
