Great thread to have up. My PCP ends in sept. Want to move away from the diesel as I'm not doing enough mileage to justify theGTD ownership. That said saw a 330d msport similar to the one in this thread and it turned my head but my local BMW showroom would know good customer service if it dances around naked in front of the sales staff.
Ideally, as the family will be growing soon, I will need to stay in a 5 door and I would like something that is quick. Thought about an s3 but I don't really like the look of the sports back. The saloon looks better IMO but the order books have been frozen.
Been doing the sums and with some cheap lease deals about it could be cheaper to lease than PCP.
I've been looking at some left field cats too saw some cheap deals on a R line Taureg and GLE Estate and it got me thinking about 4x4s.
Decisions decisions decisions.
Three of those four look to be Diesels!
A rented cheap R estate would cover several of your requirements but ain't the prettiest. Having said that, as a fast workhorse that you won't shed too many tears over when they come to collect it in two years it's hard to beat.
The S3 saloon is a handsome car it has to be said.
