or the renault megane 225 that we all know about lol, but she aint having it. she dont like the rear end. good job i like hers haha too much info

Still what i say will go or we'll fall out, hence why am asking about other cars she likes.

what i'm after is others opinons, also good and bad points that people are aware of.

cheers regards dave

i'm thinking the 888 is a simlar to the 1.9cdti , just tuned up a little more.

i have also been impressed with the 1.9cdti engine and the cars a nice enough and handle good.

cheers

for me that is the best value for money , that or the 1,9cdti, both drive well, look good, and are cheap, compared to the volvo, which is what i'd like i think ,style comfort, fast but dear a fook to buy, and the missus would struggle th park with limited veiw and it being on the big side :(

Either the 888 or the CDTI, but if you wanted the power of the 888 you only have to spend £250 for the tuning kit. plug and play and sorted. Many CDTI owners use it from DUTK and i've heard nothing but good things about it. If you wana save 5k then thats the route I would go.

Also as the kit is plug and play, you don't lose warranty on it as you can simply remove it in 5mins.
