Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i sri or bmw 318i m sport

Alright then.

The only other thing that I might be able to run to is a 2 year old 325i SE coupe.
I've seen one for £21k. But how much would that depreciate with another 30k miles and 3 years on it?

Still worth much after I'd have finished with it.
 
can i ask whats wrong with the vauxhall insignia that you hate it so much as to tell someone never to buy it?

seems to me like a great value for money car given the price you can get them for.

this isnt an argument post, im genuinly interested in why you feel its such a bad car when for example a newspaper section reviewing the new "unlimited" model says the insignia in general was a fantastic car fort the money.

The Insignia in my opinion is a fantastic car for the money.
However, the 1.8 is not. They have stopped making that model & replaced it with a 1.6T. The car is very heavy which the 1.8 engine can't cope with. The 2.0 CDTI 160 is a much better engine. Dont get a 1.8 !! From the choice you posted, go with the BMW

Probably because they have nearly the worst residuals of any current car.

if thats the only reason thier so bad then i cant see why ppl would never recommend them, surely if they have the worsy residules then all that mean is you can pick a used model up really cheap making it even better value for money or does this logic fail?

Are you quite sure they have stopped the 1.8?

Edit: The 1.6T has 180PS compared to 140PS in the 1.8. Both engines have been on sale for a while now.

This logic fails because they're not yet old enough to be ridiculously cheap.
