A mate of mine is trading in his 325ci Sport; he has had it for about 3 years and is has been really well looked after. Its got an upgraded sound system but apart from that its standard.
Similar to this one, colour spec etc..
Thinking of mainly buying it for the missus and selling her 56 plate 1.2 cors on; but not to sure how to convince her it is a good idea?!
Do you think its a bit to big a jump?

Too big a step for her.

Lovely car, but even without meeting her I can't see her wanting it

Well its more for me to use as a joint car i guess as at the moment we go every where in the saxo or corsa, neither of which are that comfy for any distance etc. She wont drive my BMW and not to keen on going in it to be honest; but i wont sell it and also that only goes on the road for 6months of the year.
Andy - been offered it for £6K with 70K and FSH

She will be fine.
RWD cars arent bad.The model your looking at will have DSC i assume.As long as she keeps it on then i dont see why she would have a problem driving it.
My GF drove my 328i sport every day and she was fine.

I dont think its the RWD to much as she is a sensible driver; its more the size. But has parking sensors so should be ok!!
She has driven my ZM and didnt like the raw power, heavy clutch etc and also prob the way i drive it has put her off driving that one She liked driving the 911 and IMO a 3 series is easier to drive so i reckon she will be fine
Think i will just wack a bow on it and say its a present and not be ungratefull

Think I am close to convincing her; said I would pay for servicing, tax etc so all she needs to do is insure it!

chloe drives my m3 quite a bit, wont be an issue unless she is a retard. she has a mini at the moment and wants an x5. if its got parking sensors it will be fine, has traction control too so she is probably more likly to crash the corsa
