Not sure if 330 is affected |
Ooh, that doesn't sound good! Thanks for the info.
The Mrs wants a focus diesel, they are under well under 4k for a 2007 with 80k on the clock! I like the running costs of a cheaper car, but need it to be more spacious really.

With regards a car for you, I sense an affinity towards a German Diesel, in which case the 320d is a great car, and certainly your price/milage requirements should get you something decent. There is also the Audi A4 1.9tdi.
If practicality is on your list, how about a Volvo V70 D5 - suberb diesel engine, acres of space and they will just eat the miles

I love my Golf, it is very well made and running nicely, it just isn't confortable for too long with big Recaro leather seats!
V70 is way too big.
Saab 9-5 are nice, my boss loves Saab's. Jaguar X types are ridiculously cheap now, im not quite old enough though i think.
