Going to get rid of the octavia vrs in the not too distant future and get something different. Loved the vrs but wanting some different ideas before i consider going for a petrol version of the same car. We need 4/5 doors, less than 4 years old, petrol, preferably turbo and under 30k miles for a max budget of 13k. Must also have a nice large boot so no hatchbacks. All ideas welcome, no insurance killers tho, already tried an impreza, insurance was a touch too heavy to warrant it as its primarily a family car, with the option for fun too.

for less then 10k even, you will be looking at maybe an 07 reg with next to no miles.

that was also an option John. Think skoda are desperate for business, they offered 2k off a nearly new estate today. Tempting.

did consider a vw passat, not found one that is any good yet tho. good thing is we are not in any rush so come january when no-one is buying cars might be best to go to a dealership then.
Wont get a good merc for that price given what mileage and age im after, wont touch any BMW and havent found an A4 within budget as yet

not much you can do these engines without spending alot of money (forced induction) exhaust and remap should see around 245 odd bhp
