I keep on looking at 140i's and Mk 8 Fiesta ST's to replace my current Mk 7 Fiesta ST. It just feels like a lot of money to spend (looking at around £23k for 140i, 17k for Fiesta Mk 8) with maybe £6k part ex for my Mk 7 but I could comfortably afford it. I mean, I enjoy my car and I don't really spend money on much else; it might also be the last opportunity to buy a real decent displacement engine as we approach the 'No ICE sold cars plan'

I do have a credit card with a limit of £13k at 0% for 13 months. At the end of that I could likely find a 0% Balance transfer (no fee) and essentially pay for the car over around 2, maybe even 3 years at 0%.

Mk 7 is approaching 83k miles now and it's actually the longest I've had a car ( 3 years) but has shown very early signs of a clutch slave cylinder needing replacing.

I've driven a mate's 140i plenty times and had a 340i before the Mk7 so I know I love the engine. I think maybe I need to test drive a Mk 8 Fiesta and see how I feel.

Or, just... keep the Mk 7 for another year..? Or, sell the fiesta and buy something that can tow a small trailer, and a track (motor)bike and start racing(?)

If you love your fiesta, a 140i will never quite feel as good to drive.

Quick, but you’ll always feel it’s just slightly lacking on a good B road.

Bit of a moment for me today, attainable dream car achieved. Mustang Bullit edition, in Dark Highland Green of course. Absolutely in love. Standard other than a Steeda H pipe, the sound is glorious. Recaros and magnaride as the options.

Lovely. I've looked at these as well but once I saw the 800bhp Steve McQueen edition, that would be the one I wanted.
 
We’re a two car family now. Decided to give up two wheels for now, I can’t keep up with the commute all year round any longer, especially now I’m a father.

It’s a very well specced 13 year old Volvo V60 T6 SE LUX. Potential risk, but been looking at them for a while and have a Volvo specialist near work.
All seems good, only problems are cosmetic.

Surprised at how well it cruises in all honesty, as drove it home from Nottingham, glorious sunshine the whole way, was amazing on the twisty bit and of course in the works car park donuts and many skids were performed, it is a total hooligan, LOVE IT! :D
