- Is the Rover CityRover a good car to cover 600 miles in three days in?
Not really, no. #UnsurprisingConclusion #Rover #Vlog
HubNut store: (offline 10th October-14th October 2019 but otherwise can be found via) hubnut.org
It's amazing that there is 48000 other people out there that like watching a man fiddle about with the absolute ordinary
Keep up the good work 😁
I'm glad you carried on writing after fiddle. Up the Wolves, :)
Amazing there aren’t more for mine! 50k in no time at this rate. :)
Top Gear have just uploaded a review of the new Porsche GTS R2, and yet, here I am. Anyone else out there think that supercar reviews are unwatchably dull? Give me a middle-aged man in a £200 blue hatch any day!
Well I'll have you know that the new Porsche GTS T2 is 203.57% faster than you are allowed to drive anywhere while the Aston Martin Vantage is 180.36% faster....they both are worth the same as a family home, while having far less legroom... I have NO IDEA why those THRILLING and totally relatable facts don't ̶i̶̶n̶̶t̶̶e̶̶r̶̶e̶̶s̶̶t̶ bore you to death
Because a Porsche can easily go 60+ mph and be expected to be reliable enough to complete the review, whereas both are prime sources of jeopardy here.
@@olik136 Worth is a fluid term Try to sell it for that 6 months later after having it garaged the whole time. You could probably buy 30 city rovers for the loss.
...and there was a recently announced proposal that all new cars from 2022 would be fitted with a data-logger and would not go faster than the local (GPS derived) speed limit (unless in an emergency) - so you will be able to overtake said new 2022 "Porsche GTS T2/T3/T4 whatever", in your City Rover on an A-Road, as it won't be able to go above 60mph... (but it may never happen).
@@johnnym9760 It shouldnt happen they could cap the cars at aroun 15mph over the speed limit though beacuse a none emergency driver never has a reason to stray over more than that. unless on a circuit.
"Slight attack of heritage"... I'm going to try and work that quote into a meeting!
Mark Pitt love it 😂😂
As far as cities go, Sheffield is probably my favourite! You don’t have to drive far to find yourself in the beautiful Peak District! It’s all good!
Nice to see a xantia! Love them for some French waftiness👍 I had 2 consecutively when they were current and really enjoyed them.
Great video and despite your disappointment, it was worthwhile for the video!
Thankyou👍👍
Richard hi. Sheffield? What to look for, if you have a minute to reply?
I noticed many people like the Xantia in the UK
Congratulations on the upcomming 50,000 subscribers, well deserved. The City Rover is turning out to be a wonderful little car isn't it.
Glad you enjoyed Sheffield Ian always welcome in any of your fleet
I always wonder how strange that Rovers last ditch for a new car “city rover” cars were built by Tata, Rover got split up went bust Land Rover end up been owned By Tata, yet to think Rover created Land Rover, and Jaguars was BL in yesteryear which was same group as Rover, what a big strange merry go round 🤦♂️🤔
Your commitment to us, your loyal fans and viewers is absolutely incredible. Thank you.
Never realised you were nearing the 50k milestone. Superb work keeping the world entertained with what some would call ordinary. I prefer my cars to have character & older cars have it in shovels full where modern stuff just leaves me cold. Looking forward to the next video & really looking forward to the 50k video. Quite a achievement.
I'm impressed with the City Rover, get the impression of some big car positives like relatively quiet. 40MPG is not fantastic, but I guess that you may be driving it fairly hard. My 1988 Volvo 340 GLE 1.7 Litre) with over 100,000 miles on the clock, gave over 50 MPG on a long run. Seriously, I thought that the fuel gauge had stuck.
Sheffield, I remember it well, was there around 1970 (studying Electronics at the University). I went up there in My 1961 Mini 850 (basic model), but it was not standard under the bonnet. Fitted a bored out 1098 CC engine with Duplex timing gear, AEA630 cam, 12G295 head, single 1 1/2" SU, 3.44 differential. These mods seemed to give Cooper S performance, but with better fuel economy. Top speed was over 110 MPH, would cruise at 100 MPH if one could stand the noise. When I told a friend of the top speed, he said impossible. He got a demonstration. His comment after "This car sounds like a Spitfire, and I don't mean a Triumph.
The car is still in existence and is still with me.
I have to confess, I was horrified at mid-40's fuel consumption. For a tiddler, I'd hope for way better than that. I'm used to a car that does 62-68mpg, and can still go right across France at the legal limit and more, in comfort. OK, its newer than the CityRover, but still a pretty modest car that is well over 5 years old (Skoda Citigo).
yes you should explore Sheffield it really is a beautiful place and go visit the fire service museum too, which is located in a great area of the city and finally, welcome to Yorkshire!
that pass really reminds me of the road to wanlockhead in the leadhills of dumfries & galloway, jaw dropping scenery. For a bit of woft, another big citroen would be good but that said, my peugeot 306 is supremely comfortable
Did Wanlockhead back in January. Very true.
@@HubNut I used to live up in Stranraer, study in Ayr & my classic car club at the time met in Dumfries so on certain Tuesdays, I'd drive down the A76 (my all time favourite road) in my Mk2 Fiesta & the scenery would change every five minutes, glorious. So much better than Telford anyway, it's a shame I moved
I own a 306 and a Xantia - I can't detect a *massive* amount of difference in waft between the two; but then again, the Xantia has the minor issue of two slightly buggered front spheres counting against it at the moment...
12:30 Winnats Pass is spectacular!
You missed an opportunity to stop and do a quick piece about the A625, finally closed in 1979 after Mam Tor kept shaking it down the hillside. In the end, the authorities gave up the fight. Had you carried on down that road where you said you went wrong, you'd have come to the bottom of the "Broken Road".
The heated rear window switch actually does have an automatic cut-out after 15 minutes of operation, in case you forget that you'd turned it on.
Here's the convoluted operating instructions from the Tata Indica Owner's Manual:
Rear windshield demister (unlatched switch)
The switch is pushed and released to switch
'ON' and the knob returns to the normal position. The function indicator lights up in amber indicating that the demister heater is 'ON'.
The function is controlled through a timer and operates for 15 minutes (approximately) and goes 'OFF' automatically at the end of the duration.
The demister heater can be switched 'OFF' anytime by once again pushing and releasing the switch knob.
Note : Switching 'ON' and 'OFF' can be done only with key in 'IGN' position. The demister heater remains 'ON' even after removal of ignition switch key and goes 'OFF' at the end of 15 minutes period.
That must be a unique function - worthy of wiring to the ignition system - so it'll warm the car engine up while you have breakfast while the car's locked up and the key's in your pocket !
That'll do the car battery a power of good....
I would have no hesitation driving that wee City Rover car from _my_ front door in the North East of Scotland, down to Denbigh (in the top of Wales) and back again in ONE day. A total of 445 miles one way (890 round trip for those that were crap at Maths in school).
Want to buy it then? ;-)
High, I'm from Vision Pro, if you don't like our wiper blades, then you're not getting any pudding...........so there... The pass looked beautiful.
Your videos Mr H. are good enough for me, not being perfect is what gives them a certain charm.
for 8 months the city rover was used for long journeys and we came to the same conclusion although it was the lack of a working fuel gauge that was the last straw. Only mechanical fault was the rear strut mounts rusting away but electrical faults were constant. Now have a Ford Sierra
Castleton is lovely. I too went down into speedwell cavern - it’s accessed by a little boat which may jog your memory. I also tackled the very hilly road in my Mazda Bongo (much like the one you passed parked up in the village) I was grateful to have opted for the V6 on those gradients!!
It's funny to me reading these comments about Hope Valley and Sheffield. I live there lol. The hilly road near Speedwell Cavern is called "Winnets Pass".
@@99ron30 When my daughter and I went for a walk round Castleton a year or so ago in the snow we christened the entry to the Winnets Pass "The Gates of Mordor" . I think we learn from Hub Nut that the Rover City Car is in fact perfectly reasonable transport for a bargain price. I'd have bitten the hand of anybody offering me an unrusty car that would seat four and generally keep working for £200 when I left university penniless. I had some lovely, but very rusty Peugeots instead (not forgetting my rusty red Dyane of course)
Castleton is nice, I always mix it up with Castleford, which, well, isn't.
If you want something that eats the miles comfortably after your New Zealand trip, might I recommend a W124 or a Peugeot 605. Both are very comfortable cars even in poverty spec.
@@EgoShredder Big lions have always been seriously underrated cars. Excellent driving characteristics and comfort for days. I was thinking 605 would be perfect because Ian has had XM's here and I bet he'd love a 605.
Aren't 605's ridiculously rare now? 607 should be fairly easy to find dirt cheap though - maybe too modern though, with multiplex wiring, multiple ECUs and all that nonsense!
Thank yiu very much for that really nostalgic glimpse of Sheffield where I was born and Castleton Winnats Pass too. Long ago in my youth, I remember the Mam Tor road being accessible by car and bus, but again that WAS a long time ago, but again, thank you for sharing-----of course from that old Yorkshire "Geezer" in Ireland.
Speaking of wafting, just got a 99 Honda Legend 3.5 V6 for a grand, wafting is the adjective of choice when explaining why I put up with 25mpg!
Only someone with your approach and attitude can renew old classic cars! Keep up the great work. Love your videos as most cars you review once existed in my country too. (Malaysia).
review* old car
I like how the CityRover's speedometer goes up to not 120, not 130, BUT 125 mph! Just enough tiny space in the dial to allow the 125 in. One nice little detail.
I also find it interesting that a new-for-2004 model range would come with analogue readouts for the mileage and trip recorder. I actually quite like that. I also like the backlighting. Very clear and simple.
Backlighting is terrible in twilight though. The numbers become invisible!
Small cars that work - never mind the quality feel the width ! Back in the late 60' and early 70's small cars were guaranteed to fail whenever the weather was at it's worst (Mini's being exemplars of this trait) . You drove 600 miles in all sorts in the City Rover - sounds like a good car to me !
John North
I concur 👍
Lovely Jubbly Mr Hub Nut, beautiful scenery, very jealous of the that Xantia, and it still looks modern, well on the outside at least.
I think the exact opposite, the Xantia is one of the most old fashion cars in France, like the Renault 19 ☺
I went to university in Sheffield (about 25 years ago!): fond memories, always like seeing footage from the Steel City as it is now! :)
My late brother-in-law had an Allegro with an automatic choke, which stayed half on, and half off. It was little help in cold starting, and made for rich running on the road. He fitted a manual choke conversion.
Been watching HubNut for years and just subscribed today.
Happy 50,000.
Love it you're using a £200 City Rover as your reliable runabout to get to see even more crap cars.
Very HubNut.
What ever and whenever you screw up Hub Nut, we still love you!
Now Ian, don't go and lose the footage of the 50k special! But seriously, got to say a big well done for nearly hitting the 50k, i think you had about 3k when i subbed to you. Guess it goes to show just how much some older cars are loved - despite their faults. My old Mk3 Cortina had a few, and one of those was with the auto choke, about the only way you could start it on a cold winters morning was by shoving my hair comb down the top of the carb, doing that held the choke plate in just the right place for it to start, worked a treat every time! Leave said comb in place for a couple of minutes whilst the engine warmed slightly and you were good to go for the rest of the day. Lol, fun times.
Nice drive out in han solo, taking into account gearbox issues it is still a super bargain and still eating up them miles, beats catching the train and a lot cheaper too.
I absolutely swear by Bosch wipers. I'm sure I then heard you say a ZX Volcane Automatic video is coming? I can't wait for that.
I just completed the pompeii of bust banger rally challenge in my cityrover. Just under 4000 miles in 8 days. Ride comfort was excellent, engine really has good grunt. Only thing that broke was a dipped beam lamp. Shame the fuel economy is poor.
Ride comfort was excellent? Really? Is something terribly wrong with mine then or was that 4000 miles on smooth roads?
@@HubNut maybe I'm just easily pleased. The ride hight on mine does seem to be significantly higher then yours, potentially the mark 2 had different suspension components.
Ahhh the old Mam Tor road and Winatt's pass I love it around this part of Derbyshire.
13:29 bit of an overkill of warning chevrons, seen corners in Aberdeenshire over 45 degrees more that don’t have them!
The more you drive Hanna Solo around, the more you do to raise the profile of Cityrover. If / when you ever sell, I bet you have a lot more interest than the person that sold it to you!
But - we are now looking forward to seeing whatever "wafty" car follows it - in a future video (and after NZ of course)!
Citi Rover *before* test-driving Xantia: its fine. City Rover *after* driving a posh Citroen: Gearbox is terrible, suspension its bouncy, its noisy, its uncomfortable, I need something wafty ;)
I was watching an old episode of Last of the Summer Wine, and there was a brand new British Racing Green CityRover in a sort of starring role. They certainly made it's tyres squeal!
@@RussEdgar445y7tlfj Replaced by a Citroen, I see.
Don't be nervous about New Zealand. We will make sure you have the time of your life.
Gutted, I was going to buy a Cityrover for my new longer commute - before the comments at the end of the video 😁
Maybe you should go for a 2CV considering your commute is longer and Ian did take one around Europe so it must be an amazing cruiser.
2CV is a lot more comfortable, though a fair bit noisier.
Yes, Ian, there comes a time in a man's life when he realises that superminis and microcars just don't cut it for longer journeys. May I suggest something French - a Laguna, a Citroen C5 or perhaps a Peugeot 407 - all super cheap, super comfortable and quirky enough for good video content.
When you go to Aus. I recommend a trip to the Warrumbungles national park not too far north of Sydney. This is where they built the Siding Spring observatory and the sky is spectacular at night...I mean spectacular. If you take a tent you can wake up with the red kangaroos and wombats sniffing around. You will not regret it. Canberra is a deserted garden full of flies - but I guess you have to go. Also you could land in Perth and drive the Nullarbor plain with the longest straight road in the world all across to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. (Or the other way. I did it in a bus (Greyhound).
EDIT Things may have altered since I was there....
Try a 3/4 year old Suzuki Alto to make you feel better in the CityRover. I drove the awful Alto (built economically to cope with Indian 'roads') as a dirt cheap hire car for a couple of weeks while my VW T5 was in the garage, eating money. I look forward to future wafting videos...
My OH bought an Alto from a certain national chain of garages with 2 words to its name. It was OK but nothing to write home about. The garage on the other hand.... Let's just say there is zero chance of repeat or referral business.
Seems funny seeing you driving around my home city.
I think i drove down that exact same hilly street in Sheffield picking up an old VW Scirocco bought for 100 quid on Ebay about 15 years ago.
The journey home to Wales was fun i remember only broke down on the motorway twice then took a wrong turn into Liverpool and got lost :).. Good times but i got it home and it lasted a couple of years.
Mr HubNut ...
people might laugh at this comment .. BUT I predict the City Rover will be a future collector item car ..That will fetch powerful money in Years to come.
These kind of cars that are often overlooked and therefore the numbers get scares ..Added to the mix this car is from the last British mass produced car company ...
Is this car affected with the head gasket issue that affected the Rover 25 ?
It would kind of scare me if it did.. They tend to "Go" at around the 60,000 Mile mark.. There is a place near me does the head-gasket on the Rover 25 and he does a cracking job ...
Might keep my eye out for one of these when I sell my Celica in a couple of Years time..
love the simple dash layout on this car ...
Love your video's MrHubNut... You are a very cool guy
No K-Series engine in this one
Old Peugeot 1.4 unit apparently, I concur, no head gasket issues.
I may be buying one tomorrow! Down in deepest Devon. Wish me luck 😕
Those dials look suspiciously like Mk3 Astra items lol. Great video and can’t wait to see what you drove for the 50k subscribers! You deserve it, my favourite car channel by far!
Charles failure to get a coil for his 70s princess resulted in two princes🤪
David Gibson 👍
Looking forward to seeing what you filmed at Hallam Brothers, they have lots of good stuff which rolled off the production line in Solihull but one in particular is unique with very few made, certainly no factory brochure available
We appreciate your many miles in mediocre motors. Just posted a crazy long comment on the ambassador. Thank you so much for perseverance in that endeavour .
Hi Ian,600 miles in a City Rover but it never missed a beat, and the MPG it's doing is great, awesome vlog through the video,can't wait for the 50,000 subs video,it's going to be epic.
I'm now obsessing over how bad that gearbox is .... I love a gnarly gearbox ... It just proves they are mechanical, not a box full of magic powered by fairies .... (Like the wife thinks ....)
Hubnut, you seriously need a ROVER 75 in your life for "The Waft".
Another great video to brighten my day Ian. Thanks. Look forward to the surprise videos and the Volcane one as my Dad had one 😊
Bosch wipers, aye nothing better.
Nice to see you up ere in Yorkshire :)
Ooooh my HubNut sticker arrived today for my 1993 Mitsubishi Camper!
I ordered it and 2 hours later you pop up saying "great news, HubNut Calendars are now available".
I feel another order coming on....kinda need a tea holder too...for technical slurping whilst scratching various parts puzzling over things....like why in the &%$@ wont my camper water pump bloody prime lol.
And holy moly that 50k is creeping up!! I hadn't noticed how the numbers had been climbing, it's great to see, you deserve a lot more and they will come...
Peace
Charlie 🇬🇧
I used to own a Citroen Xantia 1.8, it was a lovely car to drive, the hydraulic suspension was fantastic and a nice big hatchback
cheers mate....I'm somewhat drawn by the banality of it all.....very comforting.
I'm absolutely gobsmacked about the sheep alongside those steep hills. Incredible! Such interesting scenery! Cannot wait to see the drive in the Citroën as well as the Jaguar. And driving the Cityrover to Range Rover/Jaguar is appropriate since all are Tata.
I cannot think of an appropriate long-distance cruiser, others need to chime in. I'm thinking another Citroën, Mercedes-Benz, Renault or maybe Honda.
Splendid episode! Sheffield and the Peaks are breathtaking.
To quote Johno, the CityRover is "bloody awful!" but still what other £200 car would you trust to do a 600 mile trip up hill and down dale? I can't think there will be many out there.
Might be Ok in a Starlet
@@robredz I'd take the risk in a £200, MOT'd Starlet, I liked Ian's Starlet but I'm biased because he bought it in the North East 👍🏻
@@graemew7001 Would certainly risk it in a Starlet GT Turbo, or Glanza V. Starlets were and are under rated.
@@robredz That's hardly a risk tho, that's 600 miles of face ache from going 😁 all the time 🤣
@@graemew7001 exactly, risk to expensive exotic machinery being left behind.
200 miles in 17 minutes, that CityRover might have some waft after all!
Watching this knowing he'd return from the Antipodes with an AU... my man Ian finally got his waft, indeed!
I didn't realise they done a facelift version of the city Rover. That model had a tweak to the dashboard, something Rover done to the 25 and 45. Personally theses more bubble shape additions we're not very good.
I'm glad I'm on my sofa watching rather than actually experiencing that car.
The car you want in Australia is the large
Leyland p76 👍
quite like this cityrover, I have had MG/Rovers for years but have recently gone Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 diesely. incidentally I took it on a trip through wales today its first long trip out, cheshire-llanwrst-blaenau ffest-carno-newtown-welshpool-oswestry-wrexham-cheshire, love of crap cars brought me here to hubnut!
I once drove 500 miles to Exeter and back, in a single day, in a 903cc Mk1 Seat Ibiza Special that I'd been given, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. The technique on motorways is to pick a lorry and follow it, and not to bother with lanes 2 or 3.
Speaking of £200 vehicles, my 403,800-mile Peugeot Expert died spectacularly on Tuesday with a presumed cambelt failure about 5 miles outside of Louth on the A157, requiring me to call out a recovery truck. Anyone else might have scrapped it at this point - but instead, I've just spent £500 on a replacement engine and 'box, and have a quote for £400 plus parts to fit it.
I'm kind of glad there are no motorways in Wales... we would miss all these beautiful little towns and villages you drive through!
Nice tour of the countryside! Looking forward to the 50K subscriber video! The hilly setting of Sheffield reminds me of Pittsburg, PA--quite pretty...
Both Steel cities too. We're actually twinned with Pittsburgh.
Wow, that brings back memories, I spent a lot of my childhood around Castleton, epic caving to be had in the area. I now live in the Northern Pennines, love it.
God almighty, Ian, I'm not going to get ANY work done today! :-P
Thanks as always for the uploads. :-)
Quote of the vid: How to make your Cityrover feel better. Drive a Daewoo Matiz". Thank you, Mr Hubnut! A welcome laugh!
It doesn't seem that long ago that having a trouble-free 600 mile road trip in a car costing £200 was something to boast about.
A nice Rover 75 would be good to waft along in.
Your a true BL man or Rover man , like a Vauxhall man or a ford man . My grandfather worked at fords dagenham and that blue badge is part of my family as everybody there had a ford like where you was everybody had a BL or rover 😂🤣 funny how memories play a big part in our life’s . So I wonder what jag you have picked for the 50k video things have changed you only had about a 1000 of us . Ps best of luck for New Zealand your mad you tubers will be along for the ride 👍
It's not a building only full of Jaguars. Just saying... ;-)
All so was the jaguars and landrover shots to throw us of the sent ?
@@Lasercapri You'll see...
I've tried so many different makes and costs of wiper blades over the years but I stick with Bosch now, I just haven't found any others that work as well and last as long as those...
I do love Bosch wipers usually go for them but last year i bought some reallly cheap no brand ones as an experiment for one car from euro carparts that looked very similar packaging to bosch and on a discount they only cost a quid each. Over one year on they are still working great.
So it can be hit and miss with wipers but maybe these budgets i bought where actually made by bosch? I dunno?
@@MonkeyHunch1 It could be, a lot of the big brand names do also make parts for other people. Halfords' own brand wiper blades used to be made by one of the big name manufacturers. There was a very noticeable drop in quality when they changed to a different manufacturer...
Always found Wilko own brand to be good value
Super vid, you mentioned the owner filled up the Ambassador with fuel after she ran ok, mmnn , bad fuel maybe.
The city rover is doing you proud.
Keep up the good work just bought £100 clio
Ian, next time you try to test the Ambassador then try offering it a Ferrero Rocher first. Maybe it will be more co-operative then...
@@RussEdgar445y7tlfj Oh yes, definitely not Toblerone...
Other forms of confectionery are available...
Thank you Ian for another lovely drive out!
Great stuff ian keep up the good work. My polo shirt arrived quickly thankyou 👍👍
I would not like living in a house that is only a few feet from a significant motorway. I suppose the roads were there long before cars and worked fine for foot and horse traffic. Great country. My Dad was in Wales several months before D-day. Said it was a beautiful county and the people were very nice. He told me a story that he was excited that a pub had fresh milk one day.
I have a set of wood chisels that were made in Sheffield England. That why I bought them, and they are awesome.
There now. Subscribed, after a few years of watching, and a year of Volvo waftiness here at Jonophone Towers.
09:20 That dash reminds me of the Amityville Horror - you know, where there were six people murdered. Doubt if you would get them all in the boot of that City Rover....
@12:38 BEWARE OF FALLING SHEEP! lol. around the 3min mark i feel so sorry for those poor buggers who's front door was 30inches from the road and they had a lovely puddle right there.
Wow, certainly a few miles clocked up in a short time to film some content. Much appreciated though! Plenty of large cars to sample down under with the "waft" factor, might have to bring one home with you?
You should explore Sheffield. The film location for The Full Monty, and Threads.
The word of the day : Waft
Beautiful scenery and top entertainment! We love the "Absolute Ordinary" Bring it on.
12:00 I think the High Peak, as it's known (Peak District refers to the National Park named after the High Peak) refers to the ancient Brigantes tribe that occupied the region in the late iron age... which came from an ancient word meaning 'Highlanders'. So yes, but in a roundabout way.
Keep up the good work. Love the videos. Working my way through the back catalogue!
10:02 triangle of doom shadow just behind your head lol
Then @ 10:13 to 10:39 in Sheffield, that monumental dribble all down the screen looked like a very long crack. That even distracted me.
I don't think I've ever heard a driver in a car video express trepidation at the prospect of a national speed limit before! City Rover videos could be compulsive viewing... 😁
Trepidation? No, just excitement. I love that sign.
I found your videos by chance a couple of weeks ago Ian, great stuff, informative, and very entertaining!! Keep up the good work mate! ;) I reckon an E-Type for the 50k subs video, although I'd love one of the 420G myself!
Did E-Type for my 300th video. ;-) ruclips.net/video/C4REt2dkKVY/видео.html
The city rover was such a missed opportunity, usual bull shit meant a basically good platform was left to fester as a last ditch hope and prayer. Wayyy too much money. It's a basically good car, a couple of interior upgrades and realistic pricing. When the budget offering was maybe a pug 206? (A brilliant budget hatch imo) Air con and a decent spec list would have given it a little while. But an inherently decent motor. Sad...plasters on gun shots at this point :(
Looking forward to seeing your opinions from down here in this neck of the woods.
Safe travels
Small city cars not for long trips! I went yo north Cape in an Opel Corsa/Vauxhall Nova, from where I lived 6000 km/3750 miles!! Csr lost idling the last 800 km so it was all fun times at red lights, fortunately not many in that part of the country.
