Second car is worth every penny IMO. I commute forty miles a day and use the beater to go to the supermarket ect. Dont have to worry where i park it or what i put in it.

Much to the girlfriends disgust i usually go for old hot hatches like 205gti's or similar so i can still have a bit of fun in them even though they do look a bit chavy.

I do similar miles, 35miles each way commuting. I started off using the S and it worked out
