DazzaVR6 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Starting to look for a new car as the other half and i are expecting a little one in may. Needs to be diesel and 5 door and no more than £7000 any ideas? Needs to be practical good on fuel but not that it is going to bore the crap out of me. So far looked at and quite like the new shape 320/330d BMWAny ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 A4 Avante tdi, ideal for pushchairs and baby seats. Got some go in them aswell as 50mpg. Link to post Share on other sites
DazzaVR6 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hmmm look nice but other half doesnt want an estate or tourer so needs to be a bigger saloon really. Link to post Share on other sites

DazzaVR6 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Not feeling the audi's at the moment to be honest. Dont know why but i just cant see myself driving one lol Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 So if its a saloon then it's only A4, Passat or Jetta. If larger then an A6. Otherwise it will need to be a Q5 - I dont recommend the touran (older models - to much of a van and the blind spot on the rear quarter is a shocker..If you wanna step outside the box my sis has one of those ford fusion things and swears by it. - I have seen one lowered all black and rear tints and alloys and it looked the bolloxs ... Smax is a good drive.. but massiveTBH mate all saloons you will struggle with the opening on the boot not pram friendly at all! So either a big hatchback or you will need to go the people carrier route. In which case get the biggest you can as the people carriers perversly tend to have a limited boot size when all seats are in place...unless you go roof box then handling and mpg are affected.I fully understand the BMW diesels but always remember rwd and thus dont work in the snow. X1 or X3 maybe an option but again they must have 4wd othersie you have the same issues on those weeks the UK stops...Golf TDi 4Motion if you can find one is a belter of a solution..hope it helps...

DazzaVR6 2 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Cool some different options there. The reason for the BMW is i have already had 3 so just like the drive of them and the fact they are solid Room for the buggy is something i need to check though. As for the snow im not worried just means more fun for me lol. been ok in the snow with my last ones so shouldnt be a problem. Dont really want a 4wd as they always seem to drink the fuel.
