Hi Mike,
Thanks for taking the time to shae that with me. Its been very helpful I think I might try out a BMW and do some more reserach into a particular model whilst I earn a fe wmore years no claims to help make it more affordable.
I'd love something a bit more powerful than the mk4 golf 1.6 which is to be fair a nice enough car but not that fast at accelertating. Its been my first car so my next one will something less heavy and something with a small common problem list lol :)
