    2010+ Sub €20K Driver's Car?

    What would you have?

    Remember 2010+ and less than €20K. Has to be something fantastic to drive!

    E46 M3 + spare cash for running costs/up keep not a valid answer

    Doesn't have to be a BMW!

    335d maybe?

    edit: just saw the 2010 bit, rules out a 335d anyways.

    If it's a BMW it will more than likely be an e92 335, but I just wanted to pick people's brain and kind of think outside the box, what else could be gotten for the same money that would just be an absolute joy to drive?

    Edit: Yea the 335d is a bit more, but I would be leaning towards the 335i.

    Carzone tells me that I can have a Mini Countryman, A4, A5, A6, 316d, 318d, 320d, Qashqui +2, 520d, C Class, Ford Galaxy, S-Max, Diahatsu Copen, Passat.. :sad:

    Not a huge range of exciting stuff unfortunately.. Think it's the 2010+ limit that narrows it so much.. For 20K I'd want a lot more!!

    Yea the 2010+ is to squeeze as much hassle free motoring as possible out of it (would only go for low mileage examples as well). When you think 08 cars will be 7 years old in a couple of months... Don't want to buy a car that's just about to start needing everything replaced as being a newish car it won't be cheap either.

    It does, I just don't like the options

    MX5 for example.. I'm sure it'll be nice to drive but no thank you...

    Yeah, I know what you mean. 08 doesn't seem that long ago at all!!! :surprised:

    My cousin recently bought an A5 Sportback which I have to say is a very nice place to be. Wasn't driving it mind you, but as a passenger was lovely & styling wise, if you can get an S-Line I think they look great!

    If money wasn't an option, I'd have an A7 to try it out!! Not much else appealing to me these days (which is fine cos I haven't the money to be changing anyway!!)
