lol, I can't argue with that!
because most people dont have the intelligence for that, so they set it to the 70 they want to do (which is really 67) and then when they come up behind someone else doing 66, they dont run up behind them and brake like normal morons, they just slow down a bit. This carries on until you have all matched the lowest common denominator and someone gets fed up and pulls the steering over, joining the outside lane doing 62mph up a hill.
The problem with the world is that its full of idiots.

These are very good......can be had as a diesel hybrid, so excellent mpg......76mpg urban/80mpg extra urban, £0 road tax, lots of toys, very comfy........
This is slightly more than your 12.5k budget, as the asking price is £13.5k, bit of haggling and it could be had within budget....... it gives you an idea....
Saw this car on Auto Trader’s Android App. Thought you might be interested. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01505193609762

I'd be looking at what ever taxi companies use, most of them round my why seem to use skodas now, maybe a Toyota or Nissan of some sort then tend to be reliable? It use to be mondeos tho but don't seem to many any more

A4 all day long, could get a low spec and still got loads of toys. Ive got the 2.0 tdi 170 remapped and get easy over 50 mpg on a run. Plenty of pull now and comfy.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
If I was doing huge mileage like that I'd look at the cost of leasing a car over buying it. Depreciation is going to be hard on all makes when you are racking up almost 200k in 3 years. Also if was to spend that amount of time on the road I'd want the car to be as spot on as possible and not old and clapped out. I'd look at it as a monthly expenditure like it wS a train ticket rather than how much pate car I has to spend on buying a car outright. Car wise, I'd probably be conservative and get a golf gtd.

Ive owned a Audi until March this year when I got rid and returned to a Ford so yes my opinion is cack.
Maybe cr engines more reliable but they have there issues on early models also.

Opinions are like arse holes.... everybody has one.
PS, my opinion is unbiased as I don't drive either daily, mates have them, I've driven them and tbh I have never found any Audi to be that fantastic to live with bar an A8 although I liked the S3 and S4's too which would be unfit for service here. However I have always been pleasantly surprised when driving a focus/mondeo... And more recently was amazed at how well a Kia (something) drove.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Unless I was getting a car allowance, I'd be wary of buying something for that money for fear of getting humped with depreciation. If I didn't care about that then I'd probably be looking at a Passat CC. It should do everything you need and they're pleasing on the eye.
I have to agree with Rob on the myth regarding Audi and their reliability, I've been hearing some horror stories of late. Aberdeen is swamped with Audis due to their PCP deals and the need for everyone to keep up with each other or the latest trends. More and more are moving to Merc of BMW now though and their experiences with them seem far better.

Don't get a 140bhp though, the 170 isn't quite enough..... and I dont even drive fast
I've got 19" wheels too which I'd avoid if you can as it's a little crashy on most of our roads. Minted on the motorway or good A roads though.

............
There are only a couple of Superbs and they give zilch trouble. Not a very big sample of them tho to tell. I know what you're getting at as the annual jd power type review puts Skoda well above the rest of the vag group for reliability.
I certainly wouldn't believe the bullshit that German is best, for example I wouldn't buy a 1-series bmw or an x3, constantly in the garage with faults.
