AUDI A3 D SPORTBACK TDI 170 QUATTRO 09 2000 5dr MAN 2007

I'd go for the new vauxhall insignia, from what i've heard they're pretty awesome. I strong rival for the mondeo and not bad looking in the flesh - saw one last week on the roads

Depends on what you job is - Do you need to haul stuff around? Or how about private use - will you be ferrying kids and sports equipment back and forth?

 

Or am I just way too sad?.......

BMW 1 SERIES D HATCHBACK 123D M SPORT 2000 5dr MAN 2006

 

Its still a 2 litre diesel, but as apposed to the 120d, the 123d is a 2.0 twin turbo. We've had one for the last 4 months, and it flies!!!

 

The m sport seats are much comfier than the se seats. If you wana come try one marco, jodie can sort one of for you

BMW 1 SERIES D HATCHBACK 120D M SPORT 2000 5dr MAN 2006

What is it with all these 1 series ideas! The ugliest car BMW have ever produced! LOL

When was the last time they made a good looking car????

 

I used to hate BMW's with a passion, but since jodie has been getting a company car, and you get over the look of the car, as a company car and something for spending alot of time in, they extremely competant cars. TBH bar the RS line up, i hate most VAG cars more than beemers.

 

Anyway, you cant say nothing,... Jag X type, the WORST jag ever made!!!!!

I like all Bmw's, the best (inc best looking - old and current) executive sports saloons/hatches/4x4's available IMO.

 

just looked up the 123D - blimey thats over 200hp :eek: Never realised, that would prob sway my vote away from the A3 Quattro

I actually like BMWs, although would never own one....apart from an 840 or old 635CSi As for good lookers, M1, E30, E34 Coupe, E46 Coupe, 8 series, Old 6 series and Z1 (Z3 and Z4 are horrible though).

 

The Jag is a pretty car for a medium sized saloon.

 

My g/fs father is general Manager for a large BMW dealership in Warwickshire, so I get to drive quite a few different ones. I've driven the 1 series and sure, it's a nice drive, but hell, it's fookin pig-ugly!

Thanks for the advice people!

Looks like it's a toss up between the Audi A3 and the BMW 123. The Vauxhall Insignia does look pretty good but I have to believe the build and ride quality will better better on the other choices. I agree that the A3 is a lot better looking car, I had dismissed the BMW based on it's looks (it is really, really ugly) but may need to reconsider....

Anyway I started with 115 choices and with your help have narrowed it down to 2. :bow:

I'd not hesitate at an A3 if I had the choice between those two. 1 series comes way down the list.

Not sad at all, just pedantic!

Pretty much will only be used to drive the aprox 130 miles round trip to work everyday. Dont plan to use it for private use at all.

Save yourself some tax then and get something with low value and CO2.

Its not like hes buying a weekend toy si, he's getting something that will spend most of its life going up and down the countrys motorways and A roads, and im sorry bud, but the beemer is a much much better car to drive and be inside.

 

Besides, i never set it was pretty :D

130 mile round trip to work, i wont travel that far in a month lol

You're lucky! I do about 30k - 40k a year.

fookin ell, i only put 20 on my zed since april 2004 and its my daily driver lol

I think I've done about 15k in mine since I've had it.

I think I've done about 10k in my Z in the 3 years I've had it.

im trying to keep the Z milage down as much as poss , however i dont plan to use it as my commuting car , long term bin looking at a few little runaround's for when i finish servicing the Z ' narrowed it down to 2 little jap cars now:)

I think I've done about 10k in my Z in the 3 years I've had it.

 

how many miles ya done lol

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF D HATCHBACK GT SPRT L TDI 170DPF 2000 5dr MAN 2007

 

I bought 2 Golf GT Sport cars for a couple of salesmen in my company - but they were the 140bhp version. I have to say they are very nice cars; better value than the Audi and if you are paying the company car tax, the Golf will cost you less!

 

They are essentially the same car; but despite the Audi badge I'd say the Golf has a more "positive" image if you get my drift:D
