As it says my Uncle is looking for a new car, wants decent image, reasonable space but nothing massive so A4 sized car would be fine, good bit of pace and quality. What should he get?

Should he go new or any nearly new bargains to be had,
he likes the look of the RX8 but doubt he'll go for it.
Thanks Guys,

FORGOT to say he wants atleast 4 doors, and less than 15k miles.

The new Honda accord Diesel got fantastic reviews in EVO and auto car, I think they look great, and rated better than the audi or 330d

Tiggs is your 540i on autotrader, in dark grey with quite low mileage, if so its very nice.
Any more pics? I will suggest to my uncle as I don't think he realised what he can get for £25k!

There's a 510 bhp HSV GTS on Autotrader for £19,950.

BTW I think catflap was referring to the Ultima designed by Lee Noble. Looks like a group C racing car with a big Chevy lump in the back. Fails the "4 doors" test though.

i was 100% i was going for the 330 but there are just so many about. so although the 5 series is now the older shape i have found it had more road presence and a better image.

a 5 says success a little more subtle than a 3.....and people dont belive a 3 anyway
