So, I was in the market for a car and there were a few things I wanted in the car. Unfortunately Opel didn't tick those boxes, so I had to go with what did.

Got a Golf 5 TDI Sportline DSG. Very happy with it and I don't know if I would want to drive manual after this again.

Bonnet bra will be arriving on Sunday. It's needed because my dog has a habit of jumping with her front paws on car's bonnets.

Mixed driving I am on 7,3 - 7,4 litres per 100km. Can come down a lot more with less town driving.

So, I have done 620km and have a 1/4 tank left. So probably gonna get about 800km off this tank. Not the best, but ok. Need to use car less on weekends for short driving. That pushes up the fuel consumption.
