Default Besides CSL, what you got ?

It's my only car as I don't need a daily. But I am beginning to realise I do need a snotter for duties which I want to stop using CSL for (weekend trips to tip, supermarket, motorway trips around the country to friends and family)....will start looking in next 6m

Needs to be fun, quickish but a motorway cruiser, able to carry load and something I can park on the street in East London with peace of mind.

Thinking 330d, Impreza wagon / a hatch Like a Golf GTi

Only stipulation is I need SMG / DSG type thing for missus.

What do you use ?

Go for an M135i hatchback.


If you bid for Elms one for a week test.

Debadged black/black V10 are lush mate.....and silly money now....but I think the insurance would kill me parked on street in E14.

Good call though, enjoy that......Gallardo in understated clothing

Got a E91 335d touring.

Great car. Only problem is the gearbox. They're all autos. It's ok and does the job as a daily, but annoying after the CSL's SMG. Always changes up whether in sport or not.

We bought a Megane GT Line diesel for my wife and I love it. Quick, surprisingly good in the corners and nobody will bother with it wherever you park. Looked at a Golf GT diesel and chose the Megane over it.

Had a 320d sport with DSG from Elms on loan and it was good.
