New Car - Need opinions on these

CircleFaust · 30 May 2012 at 14:21

hi

new company car in the pipe line and we get a choice it seems :eek:

pretty much a choice of these. i've numbered them in order of my preference so far based on a quick browse. i assume they's be 2011/2012 models.

1.Audi A3 sportback 1.6 (maybe 2.0)

2. vauxhall astra - sports tourer 1.7 (or 2.0)

3.Citroen C4

4.VOLVO S60 DIESEL SALOON D3

can get a test drive but really want to get it down to a choice of two

comfort is a priority, good seats, driving position etc
would like a decent bit of power too. i do motorway miles at times.
i have a vectra hatchback at the moment and the room is great
they are ALL DIESEL

any advise appreciated

The Volvo seems like the best bet

Audi A3 or S60

least you get some variety with the choice! I had to choose between a Corsa or a Seat Ibiza.

Not a difficult choice, though.

1. A3 2.0
2. S60 D3
3. A3 1.6
4. to 10,000. Staring at the testicles of old men for several hours per day.
10,001. C4
10,002. Astra

Audi or Volvo.

I'd choose the Audi though. The interior on the S60 is shockingly disgusting.

Only fault with the Audi is that it's at the end of it's cycle now and the new one is out soon. Can't believe how old the current shape A3 is.

Volvo.

Volvo S60 D3, despite people mistaking it for a 3 cylinder diesel. It is not!!

In fact it's a detuned 5 cylinder engine, but still produced 160 bhp. So unless you get the 2.0tdi (170) A3 (unlikely). Then the Volvo will be the best shout.

Plus it looks a lot fresher as everyone has already stated the A3 is old now!!

Audi or Volvo, it would come down to the better engine.

None of the above are "driver's cars", so I'd get the one which is the most comfortable/nicer place to sit... So as many have said; Audi or Volvo.

Has to be the Volvo.

A3 is older than the hills.

For once I agree with Fox

[Darkend]Viper · 30 May 2012 at 21:12

I'd be tempted by the volvo. A3 is a wee bit old, astra is just a normal tourer, and c4 is french and will prob have probs with the electrics!!
