Hi Fellow Carburetors
I recently starting working at a new company in Germiston - but I live in the buzzing metropolis of Sasolburg.
Currently drive a Ford Ranger DC Manual - but it feels like such a waste tugging such a big bakkie up and down to JHB, and especially in traffic.
On a recent business trip we rented a polo TSI with flappy paddles, and it was just the best to slip through traffic, accelerate at the speed of light, uses less fuel etc.
The only concern I have is the small tyres, occasionally i need to visit the Mordor (Witbank), Rustenburg, Klerksdorp - and the bakkie is not as sensitive for potholes.
For some extra context, i'm fortunate enough to have the company pay for fuel and maintenance, which was the big deciding factor to do a 190km round trip everyday.
Bakkie is on 180000km now, and I do about 15000km every 3 to 4 months.
I'm looking for a raised body type car, that will laugh all the way to 300 000km without breaking the bank
Will probably have to replace end of 2024.
Who else commutes long distances and what do you use?
