This is one amazing vehicle, I have been lucky enough to have driven one for the last 10 weeks as a courtsey car whilst mine was off the road and I have to say i was totally seduced. This car has tons of power right through the rev range and any pressure on the throttle gives a healthy surge forwards and flooring it though takes it into a different league and you would be hard pressed to belive it was a diesel if you didnt already know. When you add to this the economy that can be acheived with careful driving this becomes a serious contender but the thing that will put the biggest smile on your face is the handling its sharp and very direct goes exactly where you point it like no other front wheel drive car I have ever driven. The one I had was black with red leather seats and looked sensational, if I had not driven one i would never had considered it but now I am hooked.

This is one of my favourite cars. My half brother from London came to visit us and hed just bought one of these and he let me drive it. Some brothers are nice lol. There is quite a bit of wind noise and the engine snarls if ya floor it but i love that sound. The rides pretty shaky and i could really feel the bumps in the road. There was loads of head and leg room, it was really comfortable. It looks pretty cool too.
Nowww to the security part...I ...

Advantages: BMW quality, Appeal, Looks Disadvantages: Not a load lugger, Pricey

My life style was still the same so was looking for a car I could do 'cruising' higher mileages in for work whilst providing me lots of luggage space for 'activity' holidays few times a year.

Saab 9-3 2.0i Estate
Volvo V70 2.4 SE Estate (ex-demonstrator)
All of these cars are very competant. My main buying criteria were Drive, Equipment/Options, and Cost of ownership over 3 years - with a max £24k budget. As I was going to be taking out a personal loan (repaid by my car ...
