have you thougth about lpg'ing the impreza, ive had it done to my wifes car after buying the same car in diesel form for her and she hated it, she has a corolla t sport on lpg now and its great getting the same amount of miles now for £35 as i was for £60 to £65 before the conversion, we've done 5500 miles with no problems, use a more petrol in this cold weather as it switches over when warm..

if you do consider it we had ours done at gas tech in warrington top bunch of lads really know there stuff and the gas fitter as a sti (not on gas yet tho)

Vauxhall Vectra gets my vote. You can't get more car for the money.

Quite like the look of an audi, not sure whether the miles might be too high

67k isn't high at all, especially for a 2005 diesel audi, most will have much higher mileage.

^ agree. That's still tight as a virgin. U have to rember people by diesel's because they do a lot of miles so finding a low miles one is rare.

I test drove a Focus Tirtanium TDCi 140 and hated it compared to the Astra CDTi SRi I bought.

The Focus seats were short...and I'm NOT a big bloke.

2009 Insignia CDTi SRi (160bhp)...I'm considering one of these later in the year. Great MPG, decent/okay acceleration, well built, cheap tax
Not as flash as a 3 series beemer and maybe a little 'rep car' but for a family 4 door saloon I think there hard to beat for the money/overall package...just my opinion tho...my wife's dad has one and every time I'm in I think its great for the money and its never missed a beat

Failing that a 3 series 320D M-Sport for me....just need to pray it doesn't snow much

Oh yeah, missed that
TBH I just posted the first example of a 320D I saw in black....but your very right tho Keighley Trade Centre is a big

On a side note, they must sell quite a few cars as they've been in business for ages..it's a wonder how they keep going with the reputation they have

Not keen on my mate's....seats are poor, and those in the rear distinctly UNcomfortable.
Plus for a 160 bhp car, performance ISN'T on a par with his Vectra 150.

Over-hyped Fords again, I'm afraid.

I've only ever driven Titanium X's and really like the seats! Wonder if they are the same seats across the range?
