A few weeks back I was considering buying a weekend fun car Or a old project car for about 5k, after a bit of pondering decided to ditch that idea. One We don’t really have the space, two 90% of the time when I would have been potentially using said fun car iv got the kids with me. Three I get to play with some fun cars whilst I am at work, so I’ll get that fun factor anyway.
So I am looking at replacing my current car a VW Passat CC that now has 136k miles on it, instead. I know I could keep the car and run for a few more years, but I do find it lacks power and I am getting a bit bored of it. I really like the looks of it, there is a part of me that kind wishes that VW had used the 3L TDi.
This will be my car to commute to work and what we use as a family car when we travelling out of the city once we allowed again. We use the wife car, for city driving at the weekend. I do about 15k+ miles a year, most of that is on fast moving nation speed limit dual carriageways.
So my budget for this is a healthy 15k maybe a bit more depending what I get for mine on trade in or if I sell it privately.
So at the moment I am considering, what are the usual suspects in this choice.
Saloon wise
5 series
E class
XF
Not really interested in an A6.
4 door coupe
6 series This May be hardest to find in my budget, as they seem to be more like 18k for a decent one. I owned a 650i coupe a few years back and really enjoyed that.
CLS I looked at buying a 1st gen, one of these before I got my Passat. I really did like that. This time I would be looking at a 2nd gen.
A7 not a massive Audi fan but, the A7 is a very nice looking car and from the reviews Iv seen say it’s more on par with A8 on the inside compared to the A6?
As I can’t really go car shopping at the moment, was wondering what everyone on here thinks of the cars listed.
