2005 6MT, which I DD mainly because it's the only running car I have at the moment
Posted by: BobR (10157) on 2017-03-14 21:00:05 In Reply to: For those of you who DD your allroad, posted by UrSobsessed on 2017-03-14 16:51:12	Share \| Report

15 mile round trip usually, unless I run some errands.

Overall it's a great car for a daily driver. It's got great creature comforts, but not the greatest for fuel economy. I average 18-19 mpg, which would suck more if I had a longer commute.
