Funny how only Craig's reality list so far has any cars that are even anywhere near the cost of at GTI/D/R
Me? Dunno. M135i? Maybe even a Peugeot GTI on a cheap lease. Or a Scirocco maybe.
Realistically my max budget is £35k and even that is pushing it. More likely closer to £30 especially with child on the way. Just bought one of these as a more practical car and it's actually quite nice
Popular cars; lots of space, loaded with toys and pretty affordable. My step-sis bought one last year, not that I've seen it as she lives 150 miles away.
I have a budget ceiling around your lower limit Craig, at times I've been able to afford cars that are dearer but I just do a reality check and end up with a Golf or similar each time. I just think about the depreciation of dearer cars in £££ terms and it soon brings me down to Earth!
