Now searching for an E46 320d touring but looking for a little help if anyone has one or knows of one not too far from me.
Hi all.
I'm currently trying to make up my mind as to what is the best option to replace my current daily driver - don't laugh, but it's a 2006 Fiat Panda 1.1 Active! For what it is, it's brilliant: a lightweight runabout that sips fuel like the Queen at a tea party, costs barely anything to maintain, and has so far been very reliable. It's showing its age now, needing some suspension parts replaced, brakes getting a little ropey, etc. And now I'm married (late last year) we're talking about dogs, kids, DIY on the house, etc...
And so I'm thinking: replace the daily with something bigger, a bit more comfortable, but equally as reliable (if not more so) and cheap to run/maintain.
My restrictions are:
- £2k budget max
- Low tax (<£150/yr)
- 2007/8 VW Golf 1.9 TDi
- 2006-2008 VW Passat 1.9 TDi
- 2006-2008 Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi
- 2006-2010 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi
Has anyone got any experience with any of the above? Or any recommendations for alternatives??
Thanks in advance!
