    I do still do the odd long journey, did a 45 mile round trip yesterday.

    Watch it - you'll be wearing those roads out !

    Surely for a 1st car, Insurance is likely to be the major cost per mile at that level of usage ?

    I mean in terms of giving the car a run to heat up properly :p infact I think it was longer as I had more errands to run.

    ok fair enough to clarify a few bits its a 1.6 and it will be just local around town, work and back (only 2 miles away) except for weekly hospital visits. I don't know mileage as ive never drove before.

    Have you thought of getting a bike or small scooter and using the considerable money saved for fun things like holidays?
