I'm currently deciding between three cars as my next car. My current car isn't a real car, since it's a Chevrolet Matiz 0.8. It has the fuel economy of a Leopard battle tank. I'm currently doing commuting with public transportation, bicycle or moped, depending on the weather and how many alarm clocks I've slept through. I'm considering three options:
FYI: I'm Dutch.
Volvo 850 T5(r?) Station with LPG-G3
Pro's:
Reliable. It will always, and I mean always work. Doesn't matter what you do with it, it will take you to your destination.
Can be bought with spare change
Can fit multiple bicycles
As fast as a normal sports car and strong like at tank
Con's:
Very expensive due to road tax
Very expensive insurance
Fuel economy isn't a word it understands
Volkswagen Kever (I'm sorry but I don't know the English name, the original beetle)
Pro's
Easy to maintain
Engine swap can be done in minutes
Cheap parts
Con's:
All parts are available
Can't drive it in winter due to local laws
Need a pre-1960 model
Rust
Renault 2CV
Same pro's and cons as the Kever, but less reliability.
