I haven't had to deal with a daily commute since uni, so it's an interesting proposition. The idea of driving appeals, in that it means it doesn't matter about weather and I get to sit in aircon/heater that I can control and I have the flexibility to leave and come back if I need to etc. But the cost of parking and the idea of having to drive a manual in peak hour traffic kinda sucks....so, there's that. The idea of riding a pushbike appeals, in the sense of then not having to worry about trying to fit in any other exercise, but knowing myself I'll hate it for a large portion of the year when it's either raining or too hot or I CBF. Public transport doesn't really appeal, coz people. Plus I'd have to walk 15mins at each end. But I could buy a folding bicycle and it'd take about the same time as driving in (traffic conditions pending). If I had an auto car it'd be a pretty easy decision...but I don't People who've had to deal with the daily commute, what's your experience and feedback?

Hypothetically if you already had a 4 cyl daily car and a motorbike registered then you can alternate around the weather and cbf'dness with a pushy ride a few times a week. Maybe it's worth the extra parking cost to have the added comfort and safety of a car along with the time savings over the occasional pushy ride. 17 minutes ago, .Stripes. said: If I had an auto car it'd be a pretty easy decision If the only thing holding you back is the transmission then sell ya car and buy a different one.

But a manual will definitely suck a fat one. Would want to buy something practical and comfortable though, especially if sitting in traffic. Something that's not too difficult to navigate through tight car parks too. Wouldn't be an F6 or V8 I don't think...would also want to buy a car I'm not tempted to mod or spend money on. Also, all of those methods are seriously cheaper than buying a motorbike and gear, especially when factoring insurance etc too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
