My Insignia isn't too bad at all. Good economy (near enough 60mpg Grimsby to Coningsby), spacious and definitely not the worst looking car of it's class either. £0 (zero!) road tax on my ecoflex diesel too!

It's no Audi A3 like I had before speedwise though - which is a good thing because the filth caught me a few months ago.

VW golf TDI 63 plate and yes I would definitely recommend a VW - excellent motor!


Agreed. I had a VW before I had my license revoked for a year and had to sell it. When I got my license back I bought a brand new Fiat Grande Punto as I got a really good deal on it. Not the classiest of cars I admit but it does the job. I also bought a private number plate for it LE58 REC which cost me next to nothing as it doesn't mean anything to anyone else.

I'm just about to change my 2.0 tdi Audi A4 for an S5, had the A4 for 8 years from it being a few years old and its just clocked 150k miles. Engine wise it's been fantastic, had to change the clutch (£600) but that's it. Suspension on it is fantastic, speed bumps are nothing and I barely noticed a flat tyre at motorway speed. It also gets 60 mpg.

if you want a car to last German is always a good shout. If you want a car to break down a lot buy an Italian one!

Ha ha I know - luckily I'm moving closer to work so my mileage will come down by about 15,000 miles a year. Plus I'm going for the 3l rather than the 4.2 so it's not too bad.......
