Hi guys am basically in the search for a new daily runner as my current Peugeot diesel is so boring it's doing my head in! I have a 300 mile commute every week and average 17k per year. I have upto 7k to spend, i do fancy a clio sport, especially a 197 cup or maybe a cheaper older 182 with around 50k on the clock, or do i stick with a diesel and go for a Golf or a Skoda Fabia VRS diesel? any advice would be much appreciated as all i seem to be doing is scouring the internet everynight and my eyes are killing me.

What sort of driving / roads are you doing?

Mainly motorway

Mainly motorway miles in a Clio RS would not be much fun.

I'd go for a 330d if they're in budget.

Big comfy barge with lots of toys, i'd go for an older merc.

As in border line classic.

Quick look on autotrader pulled up these beauties.

Well under budget so plenty left over for fuel and servicing or gas install, find a decent MB specialist and jobs a good un.

Much more interesting, nice place to be and all the poke you could wish for, it's not about mpg it's about smiles per mile.

I understand what your saying about the Clio, not thought about a 330d tbh

Now that first Merc it's just if it goes wrong could be mega expensive?
