just saying when your cruisin around you hardly ever change gear if your on the motorway cause well youve got your armrest in the way and mainly cant be bothered unless its an auto

Janesy B · 25 Aug 2009 at 14:39

BD10NNF · 25 Aug 2009 at 14:39

BD10NNF · 25 Aug 2009 at 14:41

If I'm cruising on the Motorway with my armrest in the way why would I find myself about to have a full throttle rolling dragrace with a Toyota Auris?

i dunno you just might

And when I do, I'll be sure to shout 'curses, if only i had an argicultural diesel 4 banger under the bonnet instead of this damn petrol six, I'd not have needed to change gear to despatch this most worthy of challengers'.

Wow, never noticed Toledo's before incredible value!! Definitely on my sights as a next car now.

BD10NNF · 25 Aug 2009 at 15:33

well it would be better than a rover (jokin) not all Rovers are bad. but it if worth the money my mates got one and its fast and not that bad on petrol about 28mpg for a 2.3 and its nice and relaxing

The 130 TDi is also pretty competent too and they're really nicely specced. My old one was a 1999 110 TDI SE, perfectly capable and economical

BD10NNF · 25 Aug 2009 at 15:38

if you want something for economy then get a derv like a GT TDI but if your not bothered you could get something like the Golf V5 or Toledo or even get a nice Accord type R

Lol, nearly had a Bora V6 4Mo for £1k the other day from a guy I knew, needed rid asap but I didn't have any money unfortunately. Stupid student life lol. Love the sound of the V5 with an exhaust

Thankyou for the replies everyone. Sorry to say but the toledo doesnt do it for me

Im open to suggestions of other motors but im more after a hatch. Any diesel BMW's worth taking a look at for £7k?

BD10NNF · 25 Aug 2009 at 15:56

if you want a hatch then a EK9 Civic are nice or a nice well built Audi A3 Quattro

320d isnt bad either, could get a slightly newer one for the same money. You could get a 330Cd but good luck finding one, plus would be more money

Edit - saying that, cant see any older than 04, did they not come out until then?

They did, yes, they came out in 2000. The Sport wasn't until later..

Why do you feel an 8 year old BMW diesel is a worthy candidate for the OP?
