You should either get yourself a fast diesel with all mod cons. BMW's, Audi's tend to be good choices and you can get real good cars due to big depreciation.

http://www.typervault.co.uk plenty of pics there to look at
[TW]Fox said:I'm trying to think of ways the Accord is a superior choice to the Mondeo ST200 - other than outright straightline speed where the Accord is quicker (0-60 6.5 v 6.9 with the Mondeo) it's inferior in everywhere else, including looks, interior, price, power delivery style (200bhp from a nice 2.5 V6 > 200bhp from a whiney thrashy VTEC 4 pot).
It's also a tad more unique - huge rear wing aside the Accord Type R is no different in looks to the millions of other Accords on the road whereas at least the ST200 stands out with its unique imperial blue paintwork.
Skywalker said:Handling for one , you wont find a better handling car this size thats front wheel drive and non turbo ,
0-60 is 6.1 not 6.5 , The st200 looks like hundreds of millions of other mondeos
Full recaro seats
out live a mondeo , more reliable.
Cost wise they are more expensive because at the end of the day there not a rep car with hundreds on the road
