And obviously if i set a max budget of £25k...I'll end up spending £30k...

a great 335d is sub 25k. I’ve been looking at 335d Tourings a lot recently and I’m not sure I agree with that statement! Plenty on 18s with no nav(or basic nav) or xenons at that price but ones with the options you want are a bit dearer in my experience. My wish list is pretty much the same as your...

Brilliant. Thanks guys. Compiling a list of the spec i'd be after... Prov Nav and Dampers are musts. Also needs to have Heated Seats. Need to look at adaptive lights, not sure what they do. Also really want Heated steering wheel, painted calipers, HUD, adaptive cruise, upgraded speakers... basically...

Love TG and TGT.

Rory is definitely the weakest link though. Tried to like him but he just doesn't fit imho. It'd be better with just Harris and Joey.. and maybe random 3rd presenters or Sabine etc.

This is wayyyyy more important than work Campbell!!! Anyone got experience of a 335d in stop/start motorway commuting... Just wondering what the MPG would actually be like or if I'd be best looking at a 330i or something instead. Still keen on a RRS.. but 45k+.. not so keen on that when a great 335d...

Nah you get far more satisfaction wafting past stuck 4x4s with RWD That is indeed fun! :lol: The XC70 on M&S tyres has been impressive in the snow though. Just a shame the RS4 is so thirsty or that'd be a real contender. Strangely drawn to the XC40 1st Edition for some reason, but not sure I'd want...

WINTER TYRES DAVE! Not an issue with RWD if you've got them

I hear ya. 4wd on winters is even more awesome though..



Lucky to have 2 RWD sporty cars on sporty tyres. This is going to be the 'sensible' vehicle.

Yeah.. would have to be the 4wd on an E-pace or similar. Quite like them on paper. Already have two RWD's in the fleet. This one has to cope with all weathers etc so prefer a 4wd type one for piece of mind etc. At least the Volvo has a chance of success if I take it out today.. whereas an M140 would...

Golf R
SEOT

It's in the mix too. Although that was partly to make sure it was a better Golf than Scib has..

Thought about an F Pace on one of those cheap as chips £289 down and £289/ month. Endure basic spec and throw away in 3 years arrangements?

That sounds interesting. Any links or pointers where to look?

Off googling now...

Lol.. I've already veto'd Skoda. I actually like the Yeti but I'll save that for when I retire with a couple of dogs.

Proud to be a badge-snob. But tbh.. I've genuinely considered Skodas before and been open minded about it but just fail to see the appeal.

Nah.. she's cool. Basically said it's up to me but..... don't come back with something sh*t.

If I'm spending over 20k on something .. it has to be good/high end, otherwise I'll just keep the XC70 shed!

i3 is tempting in some ways.. but it's a bit wee I think. Still feels like a local use car rather than a motorway commuter. Does have a whiff of special needs mobility vehicle about it too so unlikely to pass the SWMBO test.

I'd love an RS4, but my average speed for the 90 mile commute is rarely above 30mph so a complete waste of the V8 engine.
