Which car up to 20K

[Christophe]

My boss is looking at new car as his x5 has had nothing but problems. Gearbox has gone 3 times!!

He's thinking of spending up to 20k but needs a car that is quite sporty and looks the business. He does alot of mileage (goes down to london at least once a week) So something thats kind on mpg preferbaly better than the x5?

He was looking at an Audi A4 convertable but i find them a bit girlie :S

Any suggestions?

+1 good call flameR

535d - agreed.

Although personally I'd rather have a 335 Coupe - are they under £20k?

[Christophe]

no doesn't have to be massive. he had a golf gti before so don't think he wants the same.

So close but he will be dissapointed without a re-map

See if he can get a Lexus RX 400th in his price range.

Top for M/ways, decent 0-60 for it's size , stunning on fuel and road tax!

Does this mean he's bought a replacement or he's still looking cos he's got this anyway
