Vauxhall Insignia 1.8i sri or bmw 318i m sport

So you're considering a 318i and a 1.8 Vauxhall Insignia, but then you start mentioning that you might be able to run a 325i Coupe?

Two questions: Are you 17 and is this going to be on finance?

1.6T for consideration then. That might be a bit more fun.

Either that or a white Corsa. They must be fantastic!

2.0T would be more fun but worse fuel economy. Can be remapped to approx 300 BHP
1.6T if you want petrol. It is about the same 0-60 as the 2.0 CDTI.
1.8 discontinued as of 2011 due to being ****

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.

I can't see it depreciating more then a brand new 318i, and I certainly can't see it out depreciating out Vauxhall Consignia (as an investment it's probably up there with the Zimbabwian dollar).

What's your budget?
Give us that and we'll go from there.

If you really want to buy new at what I think your price range is, get a Skoda Octavia VRS or something.

It's a PCP - all he can see is the £x a month.

I wouldnt want to be stuck with either of those things, i'd go for a used approved motor

This and the AIDS comment are just stupid.

Anyway, why only these cars? What's the deal?

2.0 diesel would be good if u get the sri 20" alloys

Blackhawk47 · 14 May 2011 at 17:39

My recommendation:

The brand new BMW 318i Performance Derp Edition.

How are a set of wheels going to help that car?

No doubt crippling the ride on a car designed purely to ride well as it trundles down the motorway.

Brilliant.

OP needs to set a budget (per month or total or car tax) so that someone can find him a decent motor.

Right that sounds like a plan.

I had an Insignia SRi 1.8 for a week as a hire car and it's woefully underpowered.

Hang on people on here said the 1.8 is underpowered and they stopped making it so then he says he will consider a 1.6 :confused:
