im pretty young running around with 9 points. wanted something spacious etc so thought id look at 5k rangies for a while. turns out they are the same price to insure as the xsara I had. rangie hunting here i come. i presume they are pretty relaiable and more than aware they have ste fuel consumption. ill keep ph crew updated.

Go for a diesel. They're VERY slow.

Well, mine's reliable in the sense it takes a battering off road and has never once failed to get me home. But electronics pack up all the time - the bright side is it can normally be fixed (for less than £10 and in less then 10 minutes (with the aid of eBay). Go for it - lot of car for the money.

Obviously they're not sports cars but I expect the V8s will shift it at a fair rate. If you're looking at the P38 diesel you're looking at a 0-60 time of 14 - 16 seconds.

indeed. just scanning fleabay at the mo. cheap to insure because usually half sensible drives/few claims/slow/usually older drivers is my guess.
