Discussion
Recently started a couple of threads about specific cars (Passat/CC/Leon FR/330i/325i).
I've been out for a drive in a couple of different cars each time I've looked at them. The VAGs (which will come as no surprise) were incredibly dull, but perfect family transport. I would have to finance the majority cost of any of these, which is something neither me or my partner particularly want it do.
The 330/25i, while few and far between for a newer, slightly less mileage saloon, have been the best choice for me so far. Can get a minter for £4k. Great to drive, plenty of power, little if any finance. And the OH likes them too!
Before I seriously consider buying a BMW, is there anything else I should consider?
Up to £4k.
Preferably petrol, though diesel not ruled out.
Fun to drive.
Decent power.
RWD/AWD preferred.
OH has to like it too

Just a few thoughts:
B6 Audi A4 3.2, MK1 Mazda 6 MPS, Mondeo ST220 or 2.5t in the 07< cars, C350 (rather rare) saloon, IS300....
A 330i is probably the best all round package out of the lot. However it may not be the most interesting long term choice.
Didn't realise the 6 MPS were that cheap tbh. Any idea of running costs?B6 Audi A4 3.2, MK1 Mazda 6 MPS, Mondeo ST220 or 2.5t in the 07< cars, C350 (rather rare) saloon, IS300....

Had a quick look at ST220 and the 2.5T too. Can't seem to get too excited about them tbh, much like the ST 225.
I looked at Lexus's (Lexi?) all that seemed to come up were IS200's (possibly IS220, can't remember the number). Having had a snout around about them, everyone said they're very slow.
Thanks.
