V6 diesel Vectra estate

The 2.0DTi is too powerful for that chassis...

At least with the weight of the v6 traction should be better... I hope

True. But I'd rather have an Insignia. I was pleasantly surprised by the Insignia. Pig ugly though (but then, so is Veccy-C)

What are the requirements? 2 door, 4 door? Budget?

Rx8? Cheap as chips to buy. Not very frugal though. Dunno about LPG either.

A Scooby or Legacy?

V8, fast, fun.

But in reality, something capable of easily doing 40+mpg, 5 adults in reasonable comfort and still room for some luggage, shorter than an Omega. Less than 1.83m high.


Oh, and it can't be blue (long story)

Just to be clear, there is far more chance of me getting a bimmer than a Lexus iS 300. Just so we're clear.

That, without doubt, will be your loss. Dont compare it with Dtm's experience with the 2.0 btw. Lead the horse to water....

I get a really horrible feeling than I am going to get something really far too sensible 

I've been in a couple of cars lately that were a revelation too me, purely because I wasn't encouraged to give it large. Which is good for my licence.

WTF am I saying, somebody help me, PLEASE!!!!

God help me....   It's an age thing, I went all sensible a few years ago and got a Citroen 7 Seater as a practical family car, then I came to my senses again......

E63 AMG.

That's a very good shout IMO. But one discussed before, and Iirc I believe they are too new re price. £££££

Has to be VXR8. Cheapish to maintain. Experts here in shape of 2woody ect. Barn door type engineering so DIY easy? This is were a lot of others fall down.

Audi RS4 or RS6, parts price and lack of DIY forums.

Jag XF-R? Older shape better looking.

Simply doesn't appeal.  Not much does TBH, hence my dilema. Added to that, teh Lexus doesn't fit my criteria.

I'm unaware of Fuse18's Lexus problems.

And how will I get 40+mpg easily from any of them?

[TheBoy]

Oh, and manual. It MUST be manual. I'm missing my fix.

Nissan GT-R 

If we're just going to shout out random cars we could be here a while

If we are talking bang for buck though its right up there,70 ish grand for hypercar performance

£70,000 for a Datsun.....

[tunnie]

LPG. You wanted V8?

So XF 3.0d? Good prices, spec. Only sat in one, but great driving position. Nice centre arm rest position like Omega

[tunnie]

Oh think all XFs are autos
