Looks like this is the thread for me.

I need to find a 200mpg 800bhp roadster with 4 seats and a boot big enough for a pram (for twins), convertible of course, but with a solid roof that folds away into nothing, so that the boot is still spacious. AWD is preferred.

Budget is £100 to £14million if that helps.

I need Group 1 insurance, or at least my limit is £50 per year for Fully Comp and zero excess.

Are you fussed as to what colour or do you want an invisible one with a cloaking device? Also what fuel? Diesel, petrol, nuclear fusion/fission, Hydro-electric or clockwork?

after my last tdci focus repairs i want a reliAble diesel

A flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts please. No need for invisibility cloaks, I'll just vanish into the mists of time.

But nothing with more than 7000 miles on the clock please.

im now wondering if theres any difference in reliability or anything between the 2

Both suffer the same DPF problems. CR is smoother/ quieter, PD noisy and rough.

ok i guess i will get used to it lol, when will i bloomin learn, 170bhp isent a lot for most people but i enjoyed the test drive so didnt think much about the noise etc

Am i right in saying to save money you bought an expensive unreliable car that uses way too much fuel and costs a fortune to insure.

At least its a diesel

its 47mpg quoted which is a lot more than its petrol counterpart with less performance

its unreliable? it seems more reliable than unreliable i cant find many horror stories on google

its cheaper to insure for me than a quickish petrol that returns less mpg

also i got it for 800 pound less than book price

I think you need at least 200bhp to be honest, I've no idea how people manage to throw off the handbrake shoes with less, and for motorways I think 250bhp is a sensible compromise.

Maybe you could trade it for an older petrol that has some power?

Sure, it'd be something to aim for.
