So what could he get? What suits him?

I have no idea of his budgets or needs but he will clarify those shortly on the thread no doubt. He is selling the Range, and keeps the Chim and has his BMW V8... (Are you surpised at my memorty Dave - never trust a copper wink )

So to keep with the practicality of the Range (space and comfort) we need to be suggesting estates or 4 X 4's.

I would recommend a RS2 budget permitting but I doubt you would go for such a car. Maybe Subaru Forester?

So Dave, are you considering all hot hatches then smile

Think you missed my sarcasm a bit there Dave, somehow I cant see you in a Vauxhall (actually canr see most of you in one).

However the offers there if you need to explore that route. Your budget would pick you up a decent second hand one at the moment... and with warranty.

I await the inevitable tumbleweed roflrofl

Depends what you want really mate. The Corsa, to me, allbeit a fine car, felt underpowered. Problem is I stepped out the Astra to drive it... maybe hence my thoughts...

The Astra is a marmite car, you either love it or hate it. To get the most of it you have to get used to it. What I mean by that is that you have to learn to live with alot of raw power through your front wheels, and the consequent affects.

It is easy to drive day to day, but when get to 65% you have to be switched on. (Which I know you are). Jokes aside about Vauxhalls you might like it, and as I say, if you want a go your welcome wink

I drove an A3 3.2 V6 just after the new Golf R32.

The Audi felt rawer, slightly more torquey. The R32 was more springy if hat makes any sense.
