Is find me a car with the following out the box:
1. No older than 53/54 registration;
2. Astra/focus size so no small cars or big barges;
3. "quick" (I'm not arsed about balls out quick);
4. reliable;
5. decent spec;
6. RWD/FWD doesn't matter;
7. Diesel/Petrol doesn't matter as long as it not less than average 20MPG mixed driving; and
8. not ridiculous on tax.
Budget is 8.5k max and I don't want anything with moon miles...so say around 50,000 miles maximum...
I am stuck for ideas as ideally I want a VXR Astra but the budget wont stretch.

Decent car for the money but looks horrible.
I would consider Audi A4 size too if that helps..

Would be an older model with moon miles...
TT is too small.

I sold my old one for 8.5k (i think) 2 years ago, low mileage, xenons, mint condition, decent ones have hardly dropped at all since then from what I'm looking at, they were supposed to be about to take a nose dive back then, part of the reason I got rid.

They make total sense. The only thing that is holding me back going for one is they dont look aggressive enough.
