Thanks for the reply. The car is for my wife - we're both in our 60's so maybe the 2.0i would be enough for us! I did however think there was a big price difference (a couple of thousand) between the 2.0i and 20i 28i when new so thought you must get more for your money than just more BHP? I actually missed out on a 28i as described at Dick Lovell's in Bristol - I was on the phone about it last week and the sales guy went to check on whether they'd reduce it by a few hundred - he came back to the phone and said it had been sold! I'm not in any hurry so will for the time being look out for the car I've described. I'll maybe lower my expectations in a few months if nothing has come up. Cheers and thanks again for the advice.
