Right, this is bearing in mind that the missus is getting close to buying a Mk6.5 Zetec S TDCi, I said I would offer give her suggestions on what else she may be able to buy with her budget.

So the criteria consists of..!:

£6000 Maximum
6 years old or less
40,000 miles or less
Minimum 45MPG
Respectable insurance and tax

Any ideas? All of the above is way out of my comfort zone with car searches, aside from the budget :lol:

I liked the idea of a Mk5 Golf GTi... She didn't... :hsugh:

Thoughts?

Remaps see a lot of good things with these, and they are very capable. Going to test drive one soon and see what they are like
