New Car

[Lukekelly23]

Hi All,
Been coming to this website for years but this is my first post.

I've just started looking for a new car. I have no more than £7k to spend and was wondering what people thought was the best car to fall inside this budget.
I'm thinking of a petrol engine, returning at least 25-ish mpg, that is good fun to drive and reliable.

Thoughts and opinions???

BMW E46 330ci sport.

I'm not fussed about the number of seats or body style, so long as its not convertible. I only drive 15 minutes to work so the car will mainly be driven for enjoyment rather than for commuting.

So many people own and suggest owning a BMW. Personally, I find them a big YAWN !!! Boring, common, over-rated. My brother has a 330i M convertible, my other brother has a 320 ci (I think I got that right - Ilose interest. I find them quite dull. I have only owned 1 BMW, many years and cars ago, a 1981 735i.

What about a Volvo C30 2.4i or C30 T5 (Turbo) Quick, safe, fun, funky looking.
