320dse 55mph 140mph taut handling (except in snow) well screwed together. My previous car was a 1.8 diesel SMax it was fine and did 140,000  in three years without incident bit slow though

Have you thought about the Insignia?
 
Whole different league from the pile of crap previously made by Vauxhall, good performance and economy and loaded with standard equipment.

maybe not from the outside but inside it sounds proper fruity and growly :lol . saw another car today to throw in the mix,honda civic 2.2 diesel ;) . looks really nice in red. apparently they go quite well too


DMF and the engine isn't that peachy, look through some owners forums...


What about Vectra or Octavia...

I doubted it that is stretched, it's built on the same chassis as well as Seat Leon.

Based on the golf.  Same as Golf, Jetta, A3 and Seat equivalent (Leon?).

I'd have one tomorrow.

I had a ford focus estate for years, and i happily tell you that it was the best car i have ever had. it absolutely never went wrong. 1.8 tdci, fantastic. Mrs Easy had 3 accidents in it (all other peoples fault) and she was safe every time. bloody awesome car. huge load capacity and cheap as chips to run. fast, and comfortable. i really wish i'd never sold it.
