Well, 5 years ago would be nearly 2009 which was when I bought my 306 and you are a year or two younger than I am so if anyone didn't even have a license back then it would have been you

Yashar, f*ck off would you and stop trying to start an argument in every thread. Even think about carrying on with arguing on this thread and ill ban you. In fact, consider arguing in another thread and ill ban you. Actually mr Popularity, you are going to have to work very hard to stay on this forum

Jag diesel - Peugeot engine. Not the most refined engines but bullet proof
Alfa - i will be well and truly jealous if you do get one. Great looking cars and despite the rumours, they are fairly reliable
3 series - Nice looking car but every man and his dog owns one. Still expensive to repair (which is needed because they are not "reliable just because they are german" like a lot think"). Can look very nice and can go like stink
Thought about a Octavia VRS derv? Look nice, get better toys than a Audi/BM of its age and go better than the petrol VRS.

I'm not really sure where you are trying to go with this. What does it matter to you how long I've been on the forum?
Stay on topic, I'm looking for a new car. If you don't have advice on what car - then get the f*ck out.
Thanks.

Puggy I have to agree with you on 1 thing in this whole thread...our own action man ! I could not and would not do what Sean does everyday, so huge respect for you fella [FACE THROWING A KISS]
Back to cars....
I basically agree with Niall's reasons and choice BUT the Alfa has to be black with tan leather or a close 2nd of red with black leather. Alfas are basically car jewellery, look at those front lights [HEAVY BLACK HEART]️

For the love of God don't get an Octavia VRS!
They are terrible, small inside, uncomfortable, not especially well speced, apaulingly slow for a sports saloon (9.something 0-60) and have about half the cornering speed of the 330d, like understeer city, they eat front tyres (we've had them last less than 24 hours at work) and to top it all off the DSC box will not let you drive, even in full manual mode it wont let you hold the car at high revs it'll automatically shift up which is f*cking dangerous if it does it mid corner when your at or near the limit of grip.

I had a mk2 petrol VRS on hire when my octavia was in the garage. Was on less than 200 miles and i wasn't impressed with the power but the handling and comfort was great!

And this is coming from the man who has just recommended a 300C......
Anyway, Vaughan doesn't drive like a loon everywhere or reverse into everything. And even brand new, they are well spec'd. My old one was 16k and had loads of toys considering the money. Great car for the money IMO
Oh and they tripod nicely!

IIRC he wasn't happy with the power/cost which as i said, when i had one for a day i agreed but the derv VRS is much better and takes very well to a remap!

Yes I'll admit that it is rich coming from someone who recommended a 300c but that has the benefit of being spacious inside, RWD, powerful and fast in a straight line at least.
IIRC the petrol VRS's are 4WD and so do handle really well as we were talking to HEMS who use the petrol VRS's and they were saying they were great and couldn't get over how much we hated ours.
There is no way either of our VRS's would tripod, they'd of understeered into something before they got anywhere near that point.

a) Petrol VRS are not 4wd. I know this for a fact. I proved this by leaving a substantial amount of 200 mile old front tyres on the road
b) If i can tripod my bog spec octavia, you can tripod a VRS one on stiffer suspension!
Your just not man enough Dum

Vaughn, as scott said. Leon FR TDi. Look smart with the k1 kit on and come with nav/dual zone climate & cruise.
Servicing wont be crazy and it comes under the vw group so decent reliability. Easy mapped and good mpg.

Just FYI, the auto box will use a turn angle sensor input to avoid this happening!
I do agree with you on not buying an Octavia though!!
