I would say lowest spec 6 cylinder at least TBH, they are so refined its unreal, when mine is idling there isn't any slight vibration at all.

Fuel consumption is actually better in 6 cylinders as well sometimes.

Well i'm 21 2YNC and paying £600 FC on my 323i so you will be easily under a grand anyway, the best MPG for mine was 36MPG on a 120mile run, usually get around 26MPG but thats my driving style TBH.

I said i would only have a straight 6 one, but i bought a 318! Insurance is expensive. (im 19) and i could insure a MK4 astra gsi (2.0 turbo) for same price.

Fuel - i do high 20's on average. Alot that is town milage though with abit of a raggin from time to time. Im sure a straight 6 one wouldnt be any worse.

Good car though. Soild, handle suprisingly well if driven correctly, Miles better than any astra, focus, or anything of the sort.

i had a 2000 318 ci in 2 door, was very slow, 4 cylinder and didnt go very well at all, however it was well built, comfy and was a pleasure to drive. Had 120k on it too and never missed a beat.
