a little advice/Help

Gouldy · 10-05-11, 07:42 PM

right then, as some of you may have read i have been having a "little" trouble with the TD5 in the 4 months ive had it, and also i dont need it for work anymore. So its time for it to go

HOWEVER,
im stuck on what car to replace it with, heres the need list

diesel
40MPG +
under 100k miles
look good on driveway (no pikey old 405 Diesel)
must be more than 130BHP
good sized boot (kid on way and loads of work stuff when staying away)
must be good on motorway
have half decent ground clearance for getting into a field (normal height not low)
most of all it MUST be reliable
budget of £5000 max

ive looked into the saab 95 as i loved my last one, however the 3.0TD has bore liner problems and the 2.2's are woeful.

I would definatley recomment the A4 mine only a 1,9tdi 110bhp but I got 60 mph going to Coventry last week doing 80mph so that'll do for me , shed loads of room and it's 4 wheel drive enought torque for me to do what I wanna do with it so 10/10 for them
