Thinking of changing wifey's car on a temporary basis. Long-term goal is to get something around the 15k mark (I'm thinking mid 1980s Porsche 911) but she wants a change in the interim. Kids are getting bigger too, so something 'one up' from a supermini. Currently she's got a 98 'S' Citroen Saxo West Coast on 30k, and I'm looking to get something that would be a straight swap, or a swap + £500. Currently thinking a Pug 306 or 406, a 3-series BMW or a Golf GTi. Low-ish insurance would be a bonus too :D

er....Sierra Cosworth?

take your pick.

No seriously, my partner's in a Vectra, and i've had a few, nice, easy, cheap to run & reliable.

Oops. Meant to include that bit -- nothing Ford or Vauxhall please :D

German or japanese. Most others break down a lot. and vauxhall?? er.. NO

hey dont forget the sweeds, notin wrong with saabs

Get a mint MK2 Golf GTI and save a few quid, or mod it

Calibras are poo IMHO, rusty poo at that

bmw is the way to go,three or five series with the 2.5 24v motor in it.
very reliable and not as bad on fuel as the scoob;)
