    Hi Folks,

    Sorry to add another what should I buy thread but was wondering if anyone could help me.

    Basically after a long and proud service life I think my old 96 carina doesnt have more than a year or so left in her and while shes fine for driving in dublin I dont think shed do many more trips across the country.

    Apart from that, i wouldnt mind getting something a bit different. The 1.6l engine is not the best for acceleration and because I use the car mostly for work a diesel would be handy. I dont mind the age of the car but wouldnt mind getting 6 years or more out of it so I suppose 2007/08 is probably the earliest. I really like the jaguar style of car so would want something similar.

    Ive been looking at a few old s-types in the under €10k bracket but there are a few reasonable XFs and Audi A4s in the 15-20k region. While I can stretch the budget a bit, id like to know that the bit extra would get me better reliability etc, although I suppose if reliability was the sole factor I should maybe go for a Volvo S40 or something!

    So any help would be much appreciated and thanks for reading,
    js

    All 3 cars you mention are not direct rivals to each other. The Jaguar XF is in the same class as the Audi A6 rather the A4. The S40 is also in the same class as the smaller A3. There would be a bit of difference in running costs between the 3 cars you mentioned.
