The Car is [REDACTED]

I wish! 2.8l engine, but built like a tank (and with similar weight). Comfortable, but you could get a coal-bunker full of coal in the back and it didn't even notice. The cost of diesel when I bought it was a lot lower... :laugh:
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water
To be honest, 2 litres/100 km is not what you reach in every day use, but 3L/100 km is realistic. With my tiny 20L tank I can still go over 600km. Not bad for a car that is now 10 years old.
And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
"Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"And I smiled and was happy
And it came worse. -

And it came worse.Whereas I discovered that Tesco won't let you buy more than ~120 euros of fuel without paying for it and going back for more... 93l tank(!)

Our car, the famed reliable Opel Zafira, is of the dock-side seamstress persuasion. Totally and utterly [REDACTED]. We have decided to burn the pile of crap replace it with something a bit more reliable. I was thinking about the Volvo XC90, but it is allegedly worse then the Zafira. So, do any of you drive a large people carrier, we want a six seater, that you think is reliable and would recommend.

See, everything is in proportion: Roughly five times the fuel consumption and also five times the size of the tank :)
