206 is a good idea, gonna have a look for one now, pug engines seem pretty ok 
 
he has the rover 45 at the mo, 2.0turbo with intercooler, 115bhp and is quite fast for a derv and a big car 
 
307 is also an option, along with golf, a3, skoda, etc but i think hes a vaux fan

yeah golfs are nice, he has an s reg at the moment so wants newer than that 
 
golf 115bhp would probs be the best, he dont want over a group 12 insurance tho as hes a tight arse, hes on group 14 on the rover cos its top of the range!!!!!

If that's true then tell him not to bother... we had a courtesy car civic 1.7 diesel... proper slow I tell thee, unresponsive too. Although the civic is a bigger car.

nah he needs something that he can do 40k a year in, i told him he wants at least focus size 
 
vibrio, he pays less than 250 insurance on a 2.0 turbo rover with all electrics etc, has rac full cover, contents and work insurance, his cd player etc covered and he does high mileage 
 
whats wrong with that
