I think any 3.0d is out of the question for insurance and running costs.

You could easily afford the running costs and insurance if you bought something and KEPT HOLD OF IT rather than going through a huge amount of nearly new depreciation disasters as you currently do.

What is your budget, you don't seem to have mentioned that?

No more then 11k. Idealy 10k.

A decent 330d SE will fall nicely into that budget.

Thats easy we all know the 3 door young person car formula!

For me to get a 5dr it must be something special.

Yea not like the LCR is a run of the mill car or anything?

I'd rather have a 2/3dr car over a 5dr anyday. Im not old enough for a 5dr car lol.

What on earth are you talking about? :confused:

The weird sort of attitude of some of the guys in this forum is weird. I can sort of understand the hatchback for kids, saloon for old men thing, at a push, but not being old enough for 5 doors?

You'd rather buy a crap 2 door car than a storming Leon Cupra R simply becuase it has less doors?

Mind you you need only look at your car history to realise picking a decent car is an alien concept, perhaps thats why you end up changing every few months through boredom

They do a Diesel version called which is badged up as the FR iirc?

I think it's about 150bhp? I was taken for a drive in a 54 plate yellow one and it was really nice.

Firestar_3x · 25 Dec 2006 at 17:15

Indeed 1.8 Turbo.

Yes but its far from the same car

So you are 'not old enough for a 5dr lol' but are old enough for a nice sensible diesel?
