Was looking at 1/3 Series, but might as well see what else is recommended.

Prince range up to about 6000.

-Commute is 13-20 miles each way dependent on the way. So 200 Miles a week give or take + 150 give or take weekly driving around for Cycling/Golf, so close to the 200 mark in winter, closer to the 350 mark in Summer.

-Would like it to be fine to handle one or two trips to France in a year.

-Would need to be able to fit in a Bike in boot with chairs down is fine, ditto Golf bag, though preferably would like to get the drivers in the boot, but just a couple bags with drivers inside would be fine. Stepping up from a Corsa which does this, except drivers on back seat.

Would like something I personally like aesthetically too, but we'll see what's recommended before I take that into account, I mean different strokes for all on that one. Kinda at the time where I was hoping I could get the German Badge in before I move back into getting Family Fords/Vauxhalls or something ..... to get an idea I guess.

I would go for an Alfa Romeo 159 above the German options. In fact, I think I will :-)
