I'm after a car. Requirements are:
- has to be prestige type as I'll be using it to go to work. So no Subaru/Evos
- diesel.
- 80k miles max.
- decent performance when needed but say mid 30 MPG when taking it easy.
- say 04 onwards.
- lots of toys.
Pretty vague requirements I know. Links would be good.
Go....

Why do you always say shit cars in these threads?
Which part of a C Max is prestige and has performance?
I'd suggest a 330d M Sport or C220 CDI merc.

Could you get a facelift A4 s-line for 10k? If so then that would be top of the pile for me, perfect grown up and sensible car imo.
