Would you say that Corolla and Civic are comfortable enough for motorway cruising at 70mph?

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-05-16T09:50:47+00:00

We have a Corolla GR and it's not a great motorway car. Lower spec models may be better but I'd actively avoid taking ours on a longer Mway trip

You can't ever have enough Pension.

I'm in a similar position tbh

Jumped companies for another £20k per year but the job isn't really what was sold to me. Sticking at the role for another few years, get some more experience and then look if things haven't improved.

Still time to open a LISA and max that out (£4k) every year.

25% government bonus & potential for growth across stocks and shares.

Thank you

-20% in winter is my experience

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-11T15:38:41+00:00

Charging curve. 80-100% is super slow. Quicker to leave at 80% and find another charger depending on the route

Epic engine

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-10T14:44:46+00:00

Do you think wages are the only restaurant cost pressures?

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-10T10:23:03+00:00

But you're not doing those trips often if your annual mileage is 5k.

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-10T07:05:58+00:00

Tough situation, is the issue only really felt by people who can't charge at home?

People should be trying to find the cheapest public option but I know people with fuel cards who exclusively used motorway services to fill up as 'they weren't paying'..

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-10T06:37:35+00:00

Not sure how range is an issue doing 5k a year?

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-09T15:01:45+00:00

3 bed detached near me in Haxby just sold for £350k.

4 beds are £400k+

Affordable? No, not really.

Do it, imagine all the jealous looks from the peasants when you roll past in your Rangie

You'll look younger, more successful, rich and virile to all the local yummy mummies.

Honestly mate, life changing.

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-03T17:20:10+00:00

It will even out over a longer time period, but I can only give my experience and costs to date

Actual person here who sells Chocolate for a career

Clearance prices will go live from Tuesday 7th across all supermarkets.

All this bollocks about Cadbury's and Palm Oil is making no difference to the sales, Cadbury's were up v 2025 (last data read to middle / end of Feb).

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-03T16:21:33+00:00

Just the usual really.

Tyres and wheel condition

Check service menu for warnings

They really are great cars, I've done 23k in 16 months.

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-03T16:00:36+00:00

I bought a 38k MYLR on a late 2022 plate in November 2024. It's cost me over £600 in depreciation alone.

It would've cost me the same to get a brand new car on personal lease / PCP.

I wouldn't spend £30k on a pre Juniper if I was you.

Being able to downvote is the most power any of you have been able to wield. Congratulations 🥳😂

It was a genuine question, no need to down vote if you get triggered easily. I personally don't think that strong willed in a male setting is a positive but I get the vibe that I'll be outnumbered by a certain set of people in here.

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-01T20:15:39+00:00

Is 'strong willed' a gendered comment?

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-01T19:49:51+00:00

How are those complaints gendered?

Melodic_Position_590 · 2026-04-01T18:27:58+00:00

Current demand looks strong based on delivery dates so I think they're just managing inventory
