To have an interesting car, with a decent level of performance, return over 30mpg with the ability to ferry 2 adults and a child around and get it for £3k?

Interesting in that i can look at it and think that it's a good car to get into now and then.

Um yep. Most PH'ers are probably bored with my 'fanboy flag waving', but you've just described a Skoda Octavia VRS, right there

You know, i've been looking for a while and there are two constants. Hot SAAB's and Skoda VRS'.
I reckon i'll need to pay more attention to these this weekend.

Every E39 needs it replacing at some point. It's worth doing even if it's not showing signs of bork. They will do 35+ MPG on a run easily.
