You want a VW for reliablity? They aren't what they used to be in fact they are awful.

You are entitled to your opinion but all of the above are critically acclaimed.
Eck Edition 30 would be a good call and also quite desirable which I guess is important to you as you do chop and change your cars

Well the astra only lasted 4 weeks before needing a £1360 gearbox
I had my LCR (basically a VW) for just over a year and not a single thing went wrong with it so thats the main reason i'm swaying back to the Germans lol

It's one of the cleanist Mk1 LCRs about, one of the guys from Revo drove it a year or 2 ago and he said it felt so much tighter and newer than all the other LCRs he has driven

I have looked at Evos and would love one again but using one as a daily costs a fuckin fortune.
What i'm looking for is something that will hold its value well enough, is great on a long drive but gives the thrills when you want it to. Something a bit more grown up I suppose

Something with a bit of character, guarenteed you will love them, you'll be grinning ear to ear everytime you drive them, you wont lose any money on them either.

Worth it all day long mate, providing you like and appreciate old cars, I'd have that sierra over any modern day equivelant, certainly anything posted in here but that's just me I guess, I prefer older to newer.

You could probably get a decent reliable Escos for your money with change.And it will hold its value.

Run that 24 year old sierra with 100k on the clock in and stick the greys on it then you have 500bhp easy...

///M3[/typical Jambo post]
Or e39 m5 or Mcoupe (bit naff on long journeys tho)
R26 is a weapon, best handling fwd car I've ever driven. Unsure on long journeys though Recaros are quite firm and not to everyones liking

That is nice but I'm not parting with £12000 for a car with 100k on the clock.
