MIGGY Replacement?
« on: 13 January 2010, 23:52:43 »

What would you chose to replace your car? considering that it has been out of production for 6 years.
I love mine, suits my needs ( large engine, auto, well spec'd estate), but when it comes to replacement I can't think of anything in it's range that comes anywhere near. ( apart from German models( Audi, BMW, Merc), and the associated cost).
IDEAS?

When the time comes, though no signs that will be any time soon, I'll have a good look at the Volvo S60 D5.
Ok it's wrong wheel drive but apart from that, it seems to tick all the right boxes.

Hopefully in 5 or 6 years time an Insignia 4x4 auto. Or failing that I will consider another Volvo.
Will never go down the road bmw/merc/audi/vw. as way overpriced and to expensive to maintain.

My mate has a 56reg Merc, i think it's a 300 or sumat :-/ I know it's a V6 diesel.
He showed me under the bonnet a while back :o :o :o :o
I'm not suprized they're expensive to maintain, to do any work you'd have to remove gawd knows what. Very little room. At least in an Omega there's a good deal of room in comparison :y

Agreed, should also have added were merc is concerned RUST.
Many of them very rusty, in places no rust should appear, inner front wings, under rear seat and bottom inner edges of the doors.

Not cheap but loved by the media and owners alike, epic size and value.

The estate due for launch in a couple of months in UK and there is a model for everyone; even a 4x4 transmission option on 2.0 TDI and 3.6 V6 engines.

I really want one-love the brand, the interior quality is magnificent, I love the styling and there is a good choice of engine and spec.  Auto Express adore their long-term test car.

I went to the showroom and was staggered  :y
