What car chellenge for the TV&S collective..... Sub £2k.....

[Sods Law]

As my run down the M40 M25 is gwetting a little expensive in the 330.. I need a diesel

Daily driver,
Sub £2k,
over 55-60mpg+, -this can be the Higher MPG as all rush hour motorway (80-85leptons)
air con,
Reliable,
Good for motorway cruising,
capable of 25,000miles a year (2years life span)
Comfortable,
Backlane happy,
4dr
Hatch/good rear visibility
compact (Golf size or smaller)
No Estates!

I'm thinking a Golf GT TDI 110hp with arounf 130-160k on the clock seems good for the money

What can we offer

[Frimley111R]

Think you might be pushing the 'reliable' limits with a high mileage Golf. Build quality was never what it seemed.

I think its a case of getting the best from the situation and I will be AA warantying the thing

the potential saving of £3k p.a. is the attraction.

I would say its even better than a golf with almost twice the mileage.

My last experience of a Saab was a £7000 of bills, and it wasn't mine thank god!

[NWVT]

non gm saabs epic and last 3 to 5 years of the gm era are also good as the cars are not based on vectras.

Fair enough - I also made the mistake of buying a Renault circa 2002/03 and it spent 5 out of the 6 months I owned it in the garage being repaired under warranty!
