Saab 9-3 1.8t vector sport.  :cool: I've banged on about this before, but I absolutely loved that car when I had it. Not the cheapest to run, but the 1.9 tid is reasonable if you want economy, and you wont have to add much more to your budget for one.

i had one as a courtesy car... absolute socker of a car. No wonder they went bust!

its just a glorified vauhall, if there is such a thing!

Well I must have had a gud un then! Honestly couldnt fault it. The Mk1 was based on the Vectra yes, but the Mk2 onwards were seperate entities. On par with 3 series bimmer and C class merc imo, but much more understated and without a stupidly exagerated price tag.

Sorry to jump in on the thread, but Kia - Really! I could see where this was gonna lead!  :grin:

I take it she wants a people carrier type piece of sh!te then?

Knock the PT Cruiser in the head.My sister had one for a year and she was always bringing it round with electrical gremlins.The economy was pants even with the cdi engine.
She decided to never buy another Chrysler that was built for the uk market!She now drives a 300c :undecided: although to be fair its a nice motor :grin:

My missus wanted a Beetle and they are pretty cheap atm,the only reason i didnt get one for her is because i will have to drive it every now and again so i decided to tell her they were unreliable and bits fell off them all the time :lipsrsealed: :grin:

genius  :grin: :laugh:

Have a look for a 150bhp PD TDI.
