Situation is currently, me and my missus run a 2001 Subaru Impreza WRX & 2006 Fiesta ST.

She uses the Fiesta most of the time (business use too) and since owning it we've clocked up 20kmiles, whilst my scoob has on 47k on it :) I only use the scoob to go back and forth to work in and do about 8k to 10k per year.

My main gripe is now I have a DRT (nurburgring) I would prefer to start saving my money and using it to go there as most of my spare money goes on fuel, insurance, tax etc etc...

I would like to change both cars as

1.Something economical for her to use for work primarily however I would use too. This would need to be comfortable, power steering etc, cheap tax etc.

2.She doesn't want to drive the scoob due to its image. She would prefer something a little more mature sleek.

I was thinking about moving to both diesel cars because of the economy factor and was thinking about a Fiesta 1.4 tdci and a Golf GT TDI..

THis would give us both a cheap run about and something nicer and understated too..

I thought i'd throw this open to the OCUK Motors for some other suggestions or advice :D

Let the discussion start.....
 
BMW 320d (saloon) or 318ci (coupe). Both are nice and economical, 140bhp/150bhp resepectively.

What sort of price bracket are you looking at? Are age/mileage a concern?

More importantly, what are you using as your DRT ;)
 
Was thinking about 10k for the nicer motor and about 4/5k for the smaller car..

This would hopefully leave us with some money left over too!!

Very cool :cool:

I got a ride round in a stripped out Mk2 GTI 16v last October. Slow enough to get you round without killing yourself, but fast enough to keep up with the majority of the traffic. Was great fun - the guy who owned it used it as a DRT too after deciding that taking his Porsche 928 round was getting too costly.
