Okay, Erik, you don't want to impress.
Neither do I. Anymore. I have a black Ford Fiesta. But for myself, and the self-satisfaction in the event that I ever do any long trips again, I bought the coupe with the biggest diesel, the 1.6 litre. I can get around 720 klicks in a single filling for normal town use, and probably much more for long drives. Great torque lets me overtake on motorways without thinking twice. Unfortunately, my eyes now make me think a hundred times instead, so I tend not to do much of that anymore either.
Carpe diem.
