I've been looking at a newer car recently. What something like a Golf, Leon Cupra, A3, Focus ST, or an Astra VXR. So that sort of size. Not sure what one tho on a budget of approx 15k.

As for MG's. All the trouble Fred's had with his, need i say more...

I love the shape of the new Leon Cupra. Not sure you are going to get a decent A3 for 15k.

Ah cool, the diesel's are supposed to be decent I think although I would never drive an oil burner! Get yourself a car from mainland Europe, my A3 V6 was about 11k Sterling!

Sippo, why not just go for a 307 2.0 HDI if you want a diesel.

I saw a minter, 2005 model at that car place on the A419 at lower blunsdon. Only £8500.

Fair enough.

Get a Leon Cupra then, same engine as the Golf but a few grand cheaper.

The new Focus ST is a nice car as well, but I would probably go for the Cupra as well, as Sam said, basically a Volkswagen but cheaper!

Magic, don't touch Rover/MG cars.

No offence to Fred or anything, just don't do it.

Stick to German or Jap cars for trouble free motoring.

And it shows when you look at the interior.

Spend the money you save on a new interior. I bet it still works out cheaper.
