Something bigger is defo in order like the volvo or a big beema or audi

My old man has a very early a6 2.6 avant as a workhorse, he didn't pay much over your budget about 18 months ago and it's reliable as fuck and as you say can tow etc.

the thing with a 205 is, id like one, ive had one years ago it was ace. but my mate just sold a minter of a std one, so finding another like it for similar money would be hard.

there is a honda civic esi for sale on a local forum, 600 notes. disregard the towing thing for a bit as i have mates with tow bars, thinking more of a car for everyday to stop me using the corsa as much as i do. its done 21,000 miles in 2 years just going about on an evening and to work and back. my cavalier i have now, 1.8ls single point injection probably does 50miles to a tenner. thats about the same as the corsa, hence i drive the corsa most the time.
