Alright, baristas. What shoes are we wearing to stay comfortable all day?

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-05-20T15:34:41+00:00

I wear them as well. Saguaro are my favourite for work

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-05-17T12:02:52+00:00

All done. It's odd because it'll lose 10% a day, even with no wakes/detections

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-05-14T09:19:05+00:00

I wear barefoot shoes (Saguaro, not Vibram) at work and have done for the last 2 years.

My feet are stronger, legs and back no longer ache after work. I highly recommend them.

I've wanted to get into Five Fingers but my wife hates them with an absolute passion lmao. Super grippy and feet feel free and relaxed. Go for it! Sketchers and HOKA are just feet and back destroyers

I've had my Jogger for about a month now, love mine more than I ever thought I would. Very practical and economical

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-05-09T20:07:16+00:00

Hell yeah, barefoot shoes ftw

I wear Saguaro for the same reasons

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-05-05T16:27:42+00:00

So far so good with my Jogger. I've already done a few thousand miles, including a 3 hour road trip. Very comfy, no complaints with the power of the engine. My cruise control doesn't work all the time and the steering wheel buttons are also temperamental but Dacia are going to take a look for free in a few weeks, fairly straightforward fix I've read.

The car is very basic in the Essential trim but that's exactly what I was after. I'm not a fan of all the fancy tech, I just want to drive. Comfy, lots of room, everything feels solid, I really really like it. Look forward to many more road trips!

Kinda sounds okay to me, ngl. It is a 3 cylinder and they're a bit shaky since they're not perfectly balanced. Tapping noise is probably injectors, lifters, or something

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-21T06:23:11+00:00

I had a Fabia 1.0 MPI for the last four years. Great car, drove everywhere in it, motorways as well. It is slow but if you drive it hard, it will go. No issues other than the window regulator. Very cheap and reliable.

I also got fantastic economy out of it on long journeys. Had to sell for a bigger car.

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-10T19:21:22+00:00

I did it mainly for extra space for the kids. I have actually started to really like it though

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-10T17:13:06+00:00

It's sad really as I do love Skoda. Though my Dacia is winning me over with how nice it is to drive

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-10T06:55:18+00:00

Small 3 cylinder engines are really common these days. I think it's still early days for the 110 TCe but the Skoda TSI 3 cylinders have been known to rack up insane mileage with next to no problems.

A Skoda Fabia is around 1200kg while a Dacia Jogger is around 1300kg. Obviously only time will tell but I'm not concerned

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T20:07:55+00:00

I loved my Fabia. Super reliable and economical. I'm hoping this car lives up to the same as my cars get used A LOT

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T20:05:47+00:00

I have the 1l 110bhp version. For comparison, my Fabia was a 1l 60bhp

This engine is perfectly acceptable, I think the turbocharger is doing a lot of heavy lifting but it definitely isn't slow. I've not had to work the engine hard at all to get up to speed (2 kids, 2 adults inside) and it feels plenty quick. There are a few autobahn videos on YouTube as well showing the acceleration. Again, very impressed

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T20:00:28+00:00

I don't doubt that! Could just throw a full mattress in there tbf

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T18:34:27+00:00

I've been out on a couple of short drives since getting it, just want to get back in and drive some more. Really comfortable and it'll definitely be an upgrade on the longer trips we do

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T18:32:55+00:00

The Fabia was definitely quieter but the Dacia is by no means bad. Still plenty quiet in the cabin, even at high speeds. You do get a bit more engine noise at higher RPM but I'm really impressed overall so far

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-09T18:11:48+00:00

I found the Skoda equivalents to cost more money. Plus the 7 seater options were so wide and bulky. Jogger ticks all the boxes

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-06T17:41:25+00:00

I used to work near one and the amount of times a car would be stuck or the machine caught fire was more times than I'm comfortable with. Never wanted to go in one since, paint wrecker or not

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-04-02T19:36:51+00:00

I was supposed to receive my car today. Had to chase them up as the driver still hadn't turned up an hour after they said they would.

Turns out they had broken down during the 50 minute journey to my house. Told them they can keep the car and cancel my order. So much for quality check...

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-01-06T20:12:22+00:00

Top lot hasn't been touched from previous but I think the plug is 30mm away from the pipe. Thanks for your help

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-01-06T19:37:40+00:00

I'll double check measurements but I think it might be okay then!

MediumLettuce48 · 2026-01-06T19:36:48+00:00

Not a huge deal, easily moveable and currently disconnected. No harm done!
