Car suggestions please
Discussion
Ok I have put my scirocco up for sale on here. Assuming it sells i will obvously need a new car so I am after a few suggestions.Below is my rough criteria
-Budjet max £9000 ish
-Doesnt need to be mega fast but need some overtaking poke
-would like to average 35mpg plus (so possibly diesel)
-want it to be a nice place to sit(quality interior and leather/half leather)
-Having alwas owned brand new cars would like to avoid something with mega high miles
-Something thats likely to be reliable and not a money pit
- needs to accom a labrador in the back and on occaision a bike and fishing gear so i guess saloons and 2 seaters are out.I dont want anything 5 series size though.
-insurance not a major issue as im 33 with 13 yrs no claims and a drive etc.
My initial thoughts were a 320/330d touring however these seem to be very pricey unless they have 100k plus on them. I have a vx220 for fun use so it doesnt have to be an ultimate performace car
So throw some suggestions at me?
