A couple of cars have come up on my radar. A 2007 S40 SE 1.6D with 120k kms, a 2008 Superb 1.9 with 150k kms, (both at main dealers) and a 2005 Passat private with 240k kms but it's had new belts, clutch and dmf has summer however it has a few scratches on the bodywork.

Feedback folks.......I like the Volvo out of all of the above even if it is a bit slow. I'll be viewing on Saturday apart from the Passat which isn't available yet.

CianRyan

Weird of me to say this, but I probably take the Passat.

If I was to go looking though, I'd be after a Mazda 6 or a Honda Accord. I also have a thing for big French barges.

None are going to excite anyone really. My mileage will be climbing steeply again so I want something I can hold on to and won't cost much to run.
