...

13 MPG ........

miles per gallon of fuel or oil?  ::)  ::)  ;)

The one Mrs Opti owned actually used very little oil. She was always worried that she'd flood it.  :(

The crossfire looks OK, my missus fancied one, but I believe they're nowhere near as sporty as they look.

Which landrover variant did you try?  Freelander2 is a good drive in my opinion, in both manual and auto variants. Can be well specced but look out for salesmans howlers such as tan interiors and black/tan dash.

Car drives well, responsive and spritely, good internal space and boot as well as driving position. It can be really hustled along if you wan to play and surprises many a sportscar driver bellend if driven properly......   ;D

So which is it?

Performance = V8
Reality = Diesel

Limited to BMW & Audi as they are about the only to make fast V8 diesels

Think it's been mentioned but dare I say 530/535d. Straight six, economical for its size and limited to 155. Don't know what budget or requirements are though. Trust me, you won't know you are in a diesel.
No idea on maintenance costs though so could be a nightmare.  :-\
That is precisely why I said more chance of me getting a beemer than a Lexus.

Budget, I'm torn. Pay good money on a decent car, and hate it every day because the cost v perfromance will be poor. Or get an old banger, that owes me nought, and still meets the main criteria, but will likely have a dull, boring, tedious ride.

I guess the advantage of banger route is never having to worry about the car in carparks etc.

Dunno, completely undecided.


Or, oppsit, get a Monaro (as they are cheap), and 'dangle berries' to rear passengers and load capability ;D
