What's your budget?

A performance diesel will reduce the running costs...

my mate who's had 2 350s has running costs on tyres and fuel similar to my sti.

i think he eats rear tyres for breakfast.

I have a mapped Fabia vRS (circa 170bhp). I'm sure you can pick a good one up for around £8k.

I pretty much always get 50+mpg and don't drive like a granny neither. Well nippy, catches a lot of cars out. Bags of torque too. Really is a nice car to drive and is off at about 1400 RPM. No lag there. Only £300 to insure too.

Stunning little motors.
