New Car Suggestions
« on: February 17, 2015, 12:10:10 pm »
Hey All,

So I need some advice and as this is the forum I use the most I thought I'd post here :) So currently I am rolling around in a BMW 1 Series which is completely standard. Now I have had Diesel cars for the last few years with a few exceptions.

I'm looking to sell the BMW soon and get something new but have no idea on what to get and was looking for some input, I have looked at a 3 series but seems the M sport versions are out of my range.

Requirements

- Diesel
- Sporty Looks
- £5000-£6000 Max

Any ideas?

I owned a Civic type-s 2.2 ctdi, remapped to 180bhp, not quite a BMW but was nice to drive and quite sporty looking.. should be a few of them kicking around  :wink:

170bhp version VAG's ie Leon Golf A3. Or even a 140bhp tdi with a map.......
The Civic 2.2 drives nice but IMO a bit grandad looking.

It's also worth noting I do like 50 miles in the week and then say maybe 150 at the weekend

So roughly 200 miles a week

Do you need a diesel? I wouldn't say you're necessarily better off with only 200 miles a week.
Sideways yo!
