McRic Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Dunno why everyone disses french, I;ve had 2 with no problems. The larger cars seem to be ok it's just the small ones that fall to pieces. Opinion based on what I've owned and on what others I've known have owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 What about a Saab? You loved the way your old one drove, yes will be higher miles but pretty solid cars. Value for money I think you're on the right track with a focus or 307 tbh. What about a Laguna? I had the 1.8 petrol and it was a reliable comfortable car. Diesel tends to have a wee bit of poke coupled with a 6 speed box............EXAMPLE hmmm, Laguna could be a good shout. Will look at them I had the same opinion as you wwwd, but then I always said I'd never leave Ford...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Saab? Skoda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Saab? Skoda? can't really find much in either of them. Don't really wanna go as big as a Saab, would like to keep the MPG as high as poss, and Tax as low as poss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 MK3 Mondeo diesel? Though you might be pushing it at that budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 MK3 Mondeo diesel? Though you might be pushing it at that budget? yeah, there's a few about, but I 'm figuring I have no need for a car that size, hence thinking Focus instead...

Think you'd possibly have a bigger choices of Focus' too. I've just never found the Focus massively comfortable, always preferred the Mondeo, but perhaps that's just me!

wwwd Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You should be able to get an E46 for 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 what you got against slightly older cars which cost less to buy but a little more to run? or higher higher mileage ones that are less to buy and the same to run? But then again? can you even get the oldest highest mileage E46 diesel in the world for under 2k? skoda fabia vrs diesel? vw passat diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwd Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You should be able to get an E46 for 2k.There's actually one for sale on the forums for £1,500, I'd take a look mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again? can you even get the oldest highest mileage E46 diesel in the world for under 2k? skoda fabia vrs diesel? vw passat diesel just don't want a car that feels old mate. If Fabia VRS's were at this budget, there wouldn't even be this thread wwwd, I looked at E46's, but couldn't find naff all really, plus they are higher tax, and less MPG. , specially as I'd want an auto, I have something against manual BMW's (and Saab's, Jag's etc), don't ask me why, I won't be able to explain it lol Dan, like?
