I'm thinking of waving goodbye to my Focus ST and want to replace it with something of the diesel variety. But this is where I'm stumped.

Any suggestions?

Needs to have some toys and needs to be comfortable over long distances.

 

Mondeo ST TDCI

 

Audi a3 sline tdi 170hp with dsg

 

Fabia VRS
Golf GTTDI
Mondeo ST TDCI

 

all day long

 

a saff

with diesel lump

 

Bmw 330d

 

ST TDCI

 

ST TDCi or some kind of sporty diesel VAG

 

He said comfortable over long distances

BMW 530d for long distance cruising

If you like to drive a bit lively sometimes and want the best looks aswell, get the Sport version

 

s60 d5 are a fab car and beats the wifes3 series all day long

 

I sold my focus st as it was shocking on fuel bought a fabia vrs thats remapped still getting 45 + to the gallon & it goes well.Got the s1 in the garage for summer use.

 

i think the 530d is in a slightly different price bracket to the modeo TDCI

 

BMW 330d is where my money is

Computer says 50.6 mpg avg, and its not been reset in months

Although not as big and comfy as a 5, its still not a bad car to cruise in. I do about 350 miles per week in mine.
I went for the 3 over the 5 because i wanted something slightly nimbler around the Nordschleife... I really like the 5's though, i had one previously for 3 years

 

That all depends on whether he wants new or used..... maybe a different price bracket, but personally, couldn't go from driving a Focus ST down to a TDCi Mondeo.... (unless it was an ST).

As my other half says.... you are supposed to progress with car purchasers... not regress!!!

 

I'd buy an Octavia VRS diesel

I wouldn't. The Petrol version is brilliant, but I found the Diesel to have really horrific turbo lag for a TDi! I found the normal 140ps Diesel Octavia so much better all round

But personally, I'd go for any diesel BMW that takes your fancy. Going from a Focus ST, I'd say a late E46 330d
