Ok, im fed up with the Clio. Its a great car, but I dont really like it.
I have VERY sensitive hearing, and at 80 its a noisy place to be.
It SIPS diesel but it does lack some power.
It doesnt handle bumps well. At all.
It rattles. Worse than the Corsa.
Its doing my back in REACHING for the gearstick.
Do I:
a)Live with this, killing my passion of driving EVEN more?
b)Say fuck it, sell up, buy something VAG TDi again?
c)XE a Corsa
d)STFU moaning

I can insure one, and if im VERY frugal this month could afford to spend up to 5.5k on one.
As much as I slated the beeza - I fucking loved that car

VERY tempted to go with an Ibiza again, the interior was such a nice place to be.

Lupo/Arosa TDi + Remap = 100bhp
100bhp and diesel torque + Lupo/Arosa = >1.9 TDi Ibiza.

I'd go for the Ibiza pow, you seemed like you really wanted one earlier 
On a personal note I'd get an XE Corsa

With a FSH, its in very very good conditon, cambelt, service and MOT im going to advertise for £4,495. Its now a completely standard dCi with uprated speakers - that exhaust is going on this weekend!!!
I think itll sell for that, ive been watching ones on ebay go for the 4,4k mark with 72,75 and even 85k on them!
Mines done 55k - bearly run in 
I need to get a runabout for a while though, cant rush these buying decisions! Gunna take my time and find myself a nice Ibiza. Dads not keen on it (thinks i cant handle the power, but he wasnt with me that night so he doesnt know what happened), but if i'm gunna go for another one its gotta be the 6 speed 130 sport.
