Will be moving on from the Peugeot's soon - thanks to a charitable donation from the Mother, but stumped on what to get next! I'm not looking for a car to be thrashing around everywhere.. so please no "stick with a 306 cos itll b gr8 in da twisties".. I don't care.
Budget: £3-4k
Requirements:
- Diesel
- Post 2002 (to avoid you all saying 306...)
- Something with a bit of go, i.e not a 1.2 polo or something
Fairly broad.. The two things I've really had my eye on so far are the E46 330D Touring and the 159 Alfa Romeo (2.4d)
330D
Pros:
- Premium feel
- Estate, so allll the room for everything
- 201bhp standard!
Cons:
- Very rarely get over 40mpg
- Usual turbos/MAF/injectors shitting themselves
Alfa 159
Pros:
- Very nice examples for the price
- Much more unique than the 3-series
- Mildly better economy than the 3-series
Cons:
- Servicing Costs
- Questionable reliability from browsing forums
Open to suggestions on anything!
Cheers xx
