right, despite being car free for ~3 years i'm at a point where due to my job and location i'll likely be needing some form of motorised transport.
i was thinking about a 50cc moped7scooter thingy, but i'm not sure how much fun it would be in the depths of a bavarian winter.
there are quite a few Smart cars around and people say that they are very cheap to run. a friend had one would use it for trips away. he used to get his (big) bike into one and would sleep in it with the seat down.
it also costs next to nothing here in germany to tax due to its pivvy engine.
but then i saw the renault Twingo. i know it looks crap, but it's probably cheap to run and that is my main concern. plus it'll sit four (don't care if it's that uncomfy in the back as i'll more than likely be driving) or two + two bikes.
i'm not doing big mileage very often and when i do it'd be a two hour journey (max) to go ride somewhere exotic.
what are your thoughts on these little run arounds....?
fanks.
£15k though.....
normally the engines are good for 60-70k before a rebuild (according to a smart specialist mechanic)
