    I'd have a GTE as a project, just not my idea of a everyday car i.e when is chucking down and cold!

    Re: Your next car?

    I've no idea what I want next, I'll probably end up with some ****ter again but I'd like either an Alfa 159 JTD, Saab 9-5 TiD or a Volvo D5.
    Depends what happens job/home wise next year though, I might not need an economical car .

    Re: Your next car?

    Company car tax is propely pissing me off now, so I think it'll be a ****ing Prius or something along those lines next. £100 a month for my Insigna just in tax.

    I can save all that if I get a Prius, which of corse as we know is no better on fuel than the Insignia is anyway. But lets not get the facts in the way.

    I love those 330Ci's. I forget I don't have the money, so looking at this:



    I've never driven one before - ideal winter car.

    I'm on the lookout for a new daily driver but struggling to be honest. I started looking at Astra coupe turbo's, then coupe 888's, then mk4 SRi turbo's but as yet not seen anything I really want

    I am in the lucky position of not actually 'needing' a car for everyday so am considering the most impractical things I can envisage.

    Re: Your next car?

    I'm planning a drive to Barcelona next year as I absolutely hate flying so I'll be looking for a decent cruiser to go down there in. Not sure what yet. Was thinking of a 22b or type RA Subaru but to trust it I'd have to rebuild the engine fully first! Silly oil pump! Good thread.

    Re: Your next car?

    Will still have the Zafira, I'd love an insignia...but funds are tight and I've put to much work into the Zafira to turn back now...the lure of more boost is calling me.

    330d hopefully.
    Brother has the 204bhp one, and on the drive back from having it remapped it gave the M5 a very very hard time!
    It's just an animal, spins through first 3 gears, and does over 40mpg; just can't beat that mix of power and economy.

    MK3 Astra & Dis

    Re: Your next car?

    Looks like my next daily is going to be my mates '98 Passat tdi estate that I will use to ferry me about and try to resist the temptation to fit coilovers and 19's too especially as I have the mad, bad and downright thirsty Disco that constantly requires attention everytime I take it offroading, plus I really, really want to make some headway with the Astra this winter.
    Roll on Billing 2012 the dodgems are coming!!

    Dude, Mk2 Astras are not from the '60s, they have decent wipers you know! Seriously, they have damn powerful heaters, my two (even the 1.3) put modern cars to shame.

    For me, the Mk4 is proving almost so dissapointingly reliable and nice to drive it makes no sense to change it. I'm stuck with the GTE as it's such an original example and I drove it to my wedding.

    HOWEVER. I have a mahoosive itch for a classic Saab 900 T16.



    And a BMW 328



    and, as always, a Hillman Avenger.

    They're there, in their room.
