Depends on your budget.

This might sound daft but you can get a 52 plate Passat 1.8T Sport with low miles for under Â£7k. That's a lot of car for not a lot of money. And with a small amount of fettling can be made to be really quick.

I've almost been tempted myself.

Yeah thats a whole lot of car for the money, I've looked into Passats as well, just the size that puts me off!

I don't want a passat its really to big i've got about Â£10,000 but if i sell all my ice il see a easy 3k so well that the max unless i sell a organ,

anyone been looking at bmw 318ci coupe prices they've dropped a lot you can pick a car with bout 50k on them for bout Â£7,000

there are tempting as they are quite nippy i drove a mates felt good

My mate has had a couple of 318Ci's but they are not that quick. Personally I am not a BMW and think there are way too many of them on the road. I used to work in the car industry and they are a but over-rated now.

The VW/Audi 1.6FSI engine is pretty gutless and why pay more for an A3 when you could have a really nice Golf?

The Passat is not that big and a 1.8T can be made very nippy! Get a Sport trim model and you will be laughing.

In the end I suppose it depends on what you need from your car and whether you want something newer or don't mind something a little older. My 9N3 has been good so far and a big improvement overall on my last 9N - don't overlook it as a replacement!

Good luck - let us all know what you decide!
