True, probably never with higher insurance costs and depreciation.
I like the look of the Astra's but the 1.8 is quite dull!?
What an earth do I buy?

And the 1.8 Focus can give a veyron a run for it's money?
It's not going to be a work horse, it's going to be my private car also.
If I wanted a work horse I'd get a 306 1.9 DT or 406 Hdi.

I am not buying a Mondeo petrol.
Going from a fun go-kart to a Mondeo non ST will be souless.
I either have two cars, like a Mondeo TDCI 130 and a 106 Gti or I get a 1.9 Golf / BMW /Mondeo ST
At the hotel I am staying at, there are 3 Mondeo ST TDCI's. I would have one of those but they are still quite pricey.

Go crawl under your rock Ford fan boy.
I don't need a big boot and how is a Grande Punto a go-kart?
Something with A/C and a decent sized cabin.

I don't care what he has owned, he questioned my knowledge on cars when I blatently know and it is written in black and white that the Astra 1.8 SRi is quicker than a 1.8 Focus.
Yet he seemed to think that it would **** over an Astra.
Having been a member on this forum for a few years now, asking for advice on a Vauxhall was silly.
ZOMFG Fords rule.

Attempted belittlement, are you having a laugh?
You stroll in saying the Astra sucks when you probably haven't even driven one. Follow the 'OCUK Vauhall haters' you sheep.
Why are you getting personal? I'm not a printer a repairer, I haven't seen a printer and I've been doing the job 2 months. See why I don't need a big boot, all I do is carry motherboards, hard disks etc.
Are you self employed?
Go pwn some people on WoW if you can't think of a decent contribution.
I've driven one of these, 1.6 110bhp? Seemed a nice car but depreciation wouild be a killer surely?
No i'm a field technician for Dell and Sony.
Vectra's are crap, I agree with that.
I thought the Astra SRi 1.9 CDti I test drove handled and performed pretty well for a 5 door hatch.
Yeah but by then the car will be worth nothing anyway.
The Saxo needs to be replaced with something more suitable.
The Saxo is adequate as my personal car, it's fun, small and nippy and I was strongly considering getting a Clio 182 next until I was offered a new job.
It's looking like I need 2 cars.
Do 30k miles per year in a Clio 182?
I was thinking Mondeo TDCi £3000, 205 1.9 GTi / 106 Gti / Saxo VTS £1500

The Grande Punto has a lot more cabin room than a Mk2 Phase 2 Clio.
The leather seats in the GP are also quite comfy.
I was thinking more of the price of business class insurance @ 30k miles per year on a Clio 182.
