Soldato
Hello all
I got t-boned on my way home from work on Friday night by a guy who drove straight across a crossroads without noticing it was there. Ironically i ended up buried in the front wall to the grounds of a hospital. Everything hurts especially my right shoulder where I clouted the doorframe, but thankfully nothing broken. Also very glad the kids weren't in the car.
Anyway, my Fabia vRS (I know they're disliked on here but I liked mine ) is a complete mess. Front wheel off, front wing and door crumpled, bonnet pushed up, drivers door wouldn't open properly. I'm assuming at this stage it'll be written off.
After the insurance settlement (thankfully there'll be no arguament about fault, the other chap admitted liability to the police at the scene) I'll have about 5k to spend. I want something quickish (at least as fast as the vRS) and able to seat four and a bit of luggage. I do about 10k miles a year so nothing really thirsty. Also I'd prefer petrol this time. The wife already has a big car (Vectra) so I don't really want anything enormous (no Mondeo/Passat etc). I've seen a couple of Fiesta ST's in budget but not having much inspiration apart from that.
Thanks for reading all that! All (sensible) suggestions appreciated
