Great cars if you can stretch your budget! Otherwise, a Golf is always a safe bet

Agreed. I need to try and be good with my budget though, I once went out to look at a Disco 3 and came home with a RRS for 10k over my budget!

This is leading the pack so far...

Cant go wrong with MK5 golf GTI I've had plenty over the years, 80k+ miles u need to look out for coil packs, MAF sensors and the oil picks up getting blocked.

There is plenty available at the 5/6k price mark , spend a few nights on auto trader ull find something, Ill see whats available form the trade network if you want. I got a nice 330ci 57 plate with 31k on it for a mate a few weeks back for 7100 quid lot of car for the money, also picked up a 04 Porsche Cayenne 4.5s (granted its mega thirsty on fuel) for 6900 it did have 90k on it right enough

That's a stupidly low price for an E91!!! My colleagues is the E46 and he paid 10k for that (it is mint condition though).

In which case, yes please, keep me informed of anything juicy you hear about!

The Alfa's are stupidly expensive to service (even by LR standards)

My mate got "given" one (51 plate) by his parents..

He was very happy until it needed it's next service (60k but at the time 8 years old) and it needed a large service costing a tad under £1200... but by the time they finished with him he's shelled out £1600

He "gave it away" to he mate a year later  RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

Too boy racer...? I.e are you too "mature" to pull it off

Just couldn't do it I'm afraid.

When they first "came out" we looked at a 500 for the wife. I was really against it so she asked the dealer if men bought them, to which he replied.... " a certain type of man".

Not for me

My wife wanted a change for her mini (put that on your list, plenty in your price range, and loads of space for a big lad in the front), she wanted a 500 with pink flowers down the side, since she uses the RRS when it snows for her commute, I didn't want to drive anything that would question my sexuality, so came home with an Abarth great cars for the money!
