I used to do a 100mile round trip to work, but it was all country lanes with NO dual carriageways.
Best time was 55minutes and worst was over 2 hours.
Now I do a 40 mile round trip, but because it's toward the city it means rush hour traffic, takes about an hour which is rediculous.
If you want a CHEAP diesel, consider the Clio. All the Renault cheapness, plus "might-as-well-be-free" tax and 50mpg with average driving... Did a 250mile motorway journey yesterday though and flat out (between 110 and 120 GPS) does 25mpg.
Got caught in 2 sets of traffic though, both crashes, one of which involved a Ferrari 355 and a TVR Tuscan!! And... a fiesta, corsa and zafira..

Wouldn't argue with that - commuting is c*nt these days.

Take a leaf out my book, I am thinking of getting a bike for commuting
Dirty cheap to buy and run. Sure there is the "you might die when crashed into" thing. But traffic is no problemo then.

it will take me an hour each way each day, currently its 40minuites each way, each day.
so for that 20 minute penalty - its worth it!
I agree if i could i would prefer it to be closer, but its not, so i'll just have to deal with that!
it just takes some getting used to thats all. I used to commute about 40mins each way in the car for a journey that would take 15mins when there's no traffic. I still enjoyed driving in because it gave me some time to myself and an opportunity to ease into the day. I now commute into london on the train (1hr travel) which is a bit crappy at the best of times but my quality of life is a hell of alot better and I love the social side of the city. Whatever your commute is, you get used to it. As long as your priority is work to live rather than live to work then an hour either side of work doesnt mean crapola. I think its a little short sighted to assume that r20 hasnt considered quality of life before making this decision

why dont you just buy an old shitty diesel 106 or something fora grand instead of a £7k vectra.
Then buy a V6 too, apparently they are not as good as people think, but imagine driving home from work in your shitty daily driver, and seeing that!
