Wify has Mazda 6 1,8L STW 2010..

Me however, well mailfunction doesent need to be big, if it is in the head...

So, long story short, Im Audi fanatic. Used to have lots of Audis and Beemers. Got pis**ed off always fixing them. Had some Toyotas. Now, after 8 years, got Audi again. A6 1,8 T Quattro STW

And with winter time, fuel bills are massive

I wish No unfortunately it was a UK car but had a nice leather interior and a few shiny bits added by me. Always fancied a type RA but prices have gone crazy.

There is something about the noise which is infectious! There are certain engines which you just can't ignore sound wise....... rotary's included.

VW Passat estate B5.5 in silver

Completely over engineered. Did an oil change over Christmas to find the sump has a "tea cozy" on the outside. well it would be a bit stupid inside the sump I guess

Never seen anything like it.

Fully loaded, 6 CD changer, heated screens and seats. not bad for 2004..

Comes complete with a beaded seat cover, genuine beads from Saudi hanging from the mirror and an LED taxi sign.

I do airport runs "mayte"

My in-laws have a Jazz. Not a bad car. Originally Honda planned to call it something else. Don't mention that word to any Swedes!

My mother in law went jazz polo back to jazz.
The Polo was better to drive but fell apart tbh.
Both jazz models shes had had vague steering imo. Very noticable on a winding b road.

TBH, all our Jazz's have been totally reliable. They are spacious for their class and easy to park. Gwyn likes to drive a smaller car. It's just a competent, but boring car, overall.

It wouldn't be my personal first choice as a daily, but it does the job extremely well, especially with the "magic seats". It was amazing how much stuff we could cram in there when taking my son back and forth to uni with all his gear, every term, for 3 years - a 300 mile round trip. That was our first Jazz and it was passed down to him to use in his first job. Never let him down until he decided he "needed" an Audi turbo - when he turned 25 and his insurance was manageable  ;D
