    Hi Guys,

    I've recently applied for a new job in my company which will have me much closer to home. I'm therefore considering getting a petrol car with a bit of power in it. I had considered a RX8 but the regular short runs I would be doing would seem to play havoc with the engine. So the criteria are:

    1) Must fit 4 adults
    2) must fit a set of golf clubs in the boot
    3) Ideally able to get around 30mpg on a long trip if needs be so as not to break the bank.
    4) ideally under the €1800 tax bracket but it's not a deal breaker
    5) something that still looks modern enough
    6) ideally some nice extras like leather seats
    7) budget around 5k to 6k

    Anything I might have forgot to mention please ask.

    Thanks

    I had actually forgotten all about the vrs so thanks for that. That might actually tick all the boxes.
