Yeah it should help if anything
at the end of the day if you're lucky enough to be in the position to consider either a few mpg difference between them shouldnt matter. Just get a long drive in both and pick the one you feel most comfortable with
lol have you totally missed the new 3 series coupe or somethin? that's been out for about 2 years
Thinking about it it also looks very similar in shape to the A5 - i.e fat, bloated and ugly, but thats just my opinion!
No idea about the 3 series but in the earlier revision of it's engine (in the best handling 5 series, the slightly older one 98-04 or somethin) the 3 litre diesel will return a real world 40-42 average over say 75% motorway 25% urban in auto, and a manual will see you 45-48.
I can only...
It's genuinely nothing like as bad as clarkson made out if you have any concept of thorttle control.Its also beautiful to look at but as it's an alfa i'd always be scared to own one - through nothing but superstitous fear!
Hope you have a nice trip mate, be sure to spend some time in glasgow much more relaxed than edinburgh - less posh and better places to spend an evening out!
I agree if going aberdeen way take the coastal road - you could also have a visit to places like st andrews and montrose/st cyrus on...
I'd never pay out my own money for one new - but then again i'd never buy any new car.
And i know what you mean about the rear, although with the R design kit on it the whole car looks alot nicer and more 'mean' if that makes any sense.
As a company car tho it looks like a good deal, i'd maybe...
Well my quote was closer to the £350 mark but i need 25-30k a year on mine, but that's still good seeing as the focus i have just now was something along the lines of 300 and its a 1.8.I think my max is around £350-400 a month so it would fit into my bracket nicely.
I've just had a look at lease deals on an R design 2.0D and i must say im impressed!I may well be getting myself one of these next year when it comes to reorder time. Not much more money than your average 2 litre diesel focus, can't really argue with that
But in an auto you're always 'in gear' when in neutral the car is freewheeling which isn't terribly safe.
I see the point you are making tho, i doubt it's ever caused any serious accidents
You're quite right in that it isn't a clever way to drive tho, the car is essentially out of control (albeit not to an extreme extent)
Dunno about this being illegal tho, for one thing how would you ever tell
I really like the look of the new bravo
however
the one i was in (hire car) was falling apart inside - worrying - and had the most frustrating pedal layout i have ever encountered. There was nowhere to rest your foot beside the clutch!!!!! i mean in a car that size where you might be doing...
Was the Stilo petrol tho?
I understand the point you're making and in this instance there is a difference there.
however i often find that people tend to just quote and take into account percentages when thinking about depreciation - and not how much the car cost to start with and therefor...
Just re read and you havent mentioned the astra is a petrol so what are you goin on about? I gave you the benefit of the doubt in that i probably skim read the post and then thought it was interesting enough to reply about but apparently you're just a bit sensitive for some reason
Anyway the...
