420d gran coupe msport opinions

[lee_fr200]

Seen a nice 420d msport and it's a nice looking car seems to be what I'm looking For in a car

What are they like to live with?
Real world mpg?

Handling? Are they a nippy car or is it abit underpowered?

I drive a lot of motorways and B roads and these a lot of the time are busy will the car be good for getting passed the Sunday drivers or will it need abit of a run up?

Anything else please state your opinions on them


Thanks

My budget can't stretch to a 3 litre as its a contract hire so it's quite limited and the 420d just comes in my budget,

I've been to look at a cracker of a car in alpine white with the msport carbon lip m performance skirts and wheels it rly does look nice and it's a few month old 64 plate dealer car with only 100 mile on the clock so I'm hoping to get it even cheaper than a new contract lease with it been classed as a used car

I like white, my current car is white and as a detail writ can be a dream and a nightmare to clean, I also do vehicle wraps in my own time sound I ever got bored I could always change the colour,

Nothing is bought or contracted as yet this is one of 3 cars I'm looking at

420d grancoupe
335d saloon
Audi 2.0tdi avant Quattro black edition

I'm waiting for figures on all 3 cars and going to test drive each of them and see which feels right to me,

This thread was to gauge what ppl thought of them and to get an owners perspective on day to day living

I won't be having the Audi, the 420d I've now been told they won't do contract hire on it after a week of been messed around!

So my plan now is for a 330d saloon or touring, I drove one today and rly enjoyed it

Only problem is me will only accept 6x payments upfront and can't get nowhere near nationwide vehicle contracts on price and nationwide vehicle contracts will accept 12x payments upfront

Overall cost my budget is ideally 300 per month and up to 350 with options

The 335 over my mileage and term comes in at £348 and ideally I'd like pro nav and a few other bits

The 330d saloon comes in at £304 this allows pro nav and msport plus pack and in all honesty it's fast enough and faster than my current car

[lee_fr200]

Does doesn't it! It's at Leeds BMW and I'm gutted they won't do business lease on it

[lee_fr200]

Been told business nav is standard

And pro nav is supposed to be 900
