Lot of good spec launch models out, on 60 plate, in the revised model. 20K seems a lot but you get a lot for your money.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Forget the Cooper S - try and find a 58 plate or later John Cooper Works edition (i.e. the one with the engine and suspension mods not just the body kit). The extra turbo boost, better brakes and handling make this far more fun than the S. I bought one "for my wife" after she finally refused to drive our old RRS because it kept breaking down!

It is a seriously good fun car to drive - you should at least try and test drive versus the S

Good luck!

@Singe - unfortunately the budget wont stretch to a later car. This will be the third car in a two driver household, so its really more of a luxury than necessity (Apparently!!) FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

Possible change of plan lol!

Test drove the 875cc twin air Fiat 500 today and quite liked it. 2 cylinders, 85bhp and sounds like a 2CV, actually great fun.

Much p*ss taking anticipated................ Thumbs Up FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

Scotland 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE Santorini Black

The wife has a mini, which we bought nearly new 4 years ago, it is so much fun, and despite being twice as big as the original, still gas that go cart feel, first job was sticking the minilite replicas on it, then we browsed the minispares catalogue and got I nice stainless steel decat exhaust and a blufin remap, goes like stink!!
Now she wants a 500 , but have a feeling we won't have the same 4 troublefree years we had with the mini, ESP as she does about 12k miles a year. I just hope she will fall into my trap of looking at Elises!! MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged Wink ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG
