RWD or 4WD. FWD is for small hatchbacks for going shopping in.

Says the man who used to own a Mondeo and frequently recomends them. :confused:

Have you thought about something like a Renault Avantime or a Dacia Logan? You'd be the only guy in your street with one. I mean ok, strictly speaking they are crap,

The avantime isnt crap! Just no market for it

Honda civic type R?

This thread is talking in the context of premium/performance cars.

Golf GTI? IT might be out of your budget, but am sure you can get them down. Something like this - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/703470.htm

Fox, did you ever do a comparison between your 530i and your dad's 530d?

Not a full thread no becuase it would bore everyone to death and prompt many weeks/months/years of abuse from half the forum.

triggerthat · 21 Nov 2008 at 18:28

Just do it.

Overpriced?

[TW]Fox · 21 Nov 2008 at 19:08

Low mileage and Nav. Not hugely overpriced although you could probably haggle him down.

the first monaros to go on sale were badged as Holden

It was only when GM got worried that people wouldnt recognise holden and stay away that they started badging them as Vauxhall

Their press car for example at launch was a holden

and im sorry but why is it sad ? the people at vauxhall had nothing to do with the monaro. It was very much a holden car, they just shipped it over here and stuck a vauxhall badge on it.
