You should know by now, NOT to ask advice on what car to buy on here, as all you will get is horror stories, about every make, basically BUY what you want, give it a dam good service and carry on.
 
As for your little trucker test, just pay £2k and do the full fatty test.

 

Wish someone had told me not to buy my old 106 pug 'POS' 

Ha doesn't everyone know not to but a old Peugeot

I did have one reliable pug and that was the 309 diesel , seen really high mpg and it took a lot of abuse

I paid £1995 for my 106, and over 18 months and 40k miles probably the same again... new brakes, shocks, wishbones, rear torsion bars/hubs, track rods, cambelt, 4 services, clutch and exhaust. All genuine parts and 50/50 labour split between diy and main dealer. Was a fantastic little car... 40+mpg and a hoot to drive

Was the deposit on my first 3.2 Omega, so didn't miss it for too long

I've did all the 106/Saxo modding thing 10 years ago and vowed never to go back, then I wanted something cheap to run along side the omega... everything kept say no but I really wanted a mk1 saxo vts, luckily I never found one and got a arosa tdi, hasn't broken down yet so it's already better but I still feel 18 soon as I start driving it.

Rav4 , are they any good for your needs ?  Rav

No far to small, unless it's a barbie size horse

So came home with a sorento on Sunday, 56 reg 51k miles fsh and all silver not the usual 2 tone. Has leather and climate control, cruise control which I'm very glad of as the throttle pedal is a hard position to hold your foot in on a long drive.

Came back from getting it in Yorkshire yesterday so 320 miles covered and estimated 450 miles total in the tank so not to bad but guess it'll be a lot worse in town.

Time to crack on and sell the omega now

Sounds like you've got a good one , nice mileage & history can't really go wrong . 😉 Never got less than 26 mpg out of the Hyundai & that's towing a twin axle caravan.
