Ended up getting a VW Golf - 2.8 V6 4Motion

02 plate 33000 miles. Leather Climate like a new car

Loving it already drive is so comfortable but also so easy to drive, and I love the pull and grunt of the V6

Nice one! I had the similarish mk4 R32 Golf for a year and loved it.

Had to sell it when thieves started paying too much attention to the wheels.

My friend has worked for bmw for over 10 years and has brought home every make of bmw they do for a test drive and when his dad sold his his mint corrado vr6 he found him a 325i ti compact sport, cracking car, almost as quick as a non evo e36 m3, 4 years on still looks mint now when i see him tootling around in it, and 35mpg

Oh...just seen above post good choice i came from a corrado vr6 to my 99 ppp'd uk turbo, lovely sound from the 12v in line vee engine im sure the 24v sounds just as good, enjoy

I have seen it range so far from 32 - 35 on a 70 average mway journey.

But around town stopping and starting averaging about 27, not brilliant but acceptable.

I like my C43. Capable of surprising many cars, and covers vast differences quickly and comfortably. Shame they're automatic only.

Test drove a V6 4 motion a few years back and was well impressed. Felt much quicker and responsive against the highlighly acclaimed Mk3 VR6. Good choice.

Its nice to have a change, and I have jumped in and out of loads of cars around that value, but have to say you still can't beat a scoob for the money. Pounds per smiles and all round ability I have yet to find anything that beats or comes close to a good scoob.
