natony Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i wouldn't normally ask a question like this but im getting on now and tend to go for a performance car and then a practical car and then car to a performance car. the problem is that obviously i enjoy driving the performance cars but it kind of stops there as i cant get the kids in the back, does silly mpg and is just all in all not practical. then i go out and buy a practical car which fits everyone in, is cheap to run and insure but oh my god its boring what in after is a nice looking car and seats 4 in comfort with a fair amount of power, fun to drive and reasonable to run and i have a budget of around £6000 oh lord please help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Bora gt-tdi 6 speed, thats a good choice, nice cars. Was behind one this morning and it was accelerating quite nicely on the motorway, not holding me up at all in the zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 As mentioned above the BMW 530d in M sport will be a nice choice. A 330d will be in budget as well but the 5 series is a much better quality of car. Volvo S60R (saloon) or V70R (estate) are seriously quick, fully loaded, spacious and uber comfy! A lot better than what people would belive on fuel as well which is a bonus but running costs are very high. Mercedes C270CDI. Considering these start at around £3K, for your budget you'll get a nice one. Audi A4 2.5 V6 TDi 180bhp Sport. (The 2.5 V6 TDI VW Passat's are awesome value for money and cheaper than the Audi as is the 2.8 V6 4-motion petrol). Jaguar S-type 3.0 V6 Sport, Jaguar XJ 3.2 V8 Sport SAAB 9-5 2.3 HOT Aero (fast, spacious, comfy and quite economical) - the 9-5 also comes in diesel variants as well.
