    Thinking of changing soon but I don't know what to buy? :confused:

    3500 would be the maximum I could spend, has to be daysul and comfortable on 60 mile a day commute roads are not great...

    I was thinking something vag? but I just don't know what to get

    VAG diesel stuff is generally overpriced and enough folk out there seem happy to pay, a 2.2 607 would be comfy.

    Did you have a look at any e46 bmw 320d's ? Nice drive , 150bhp and not bad on daysul either ! Ran one myself for 3 years and had no major issues

    Specifically states he wants diesel in the OP. Budget wouldn't be great for a petrol electric either.

    Good car but tough to find a clean unabused one in Ireland for the money these days I'd have thought.

    Tax is high on the 2.2 607. Citroen C5 HDI is another option.

    Not on a 320d. Haven't got my renewal yet but if it's over 1100 I'll be fairly shocked, and I'm 21 :p
