Ok,
R32= Good idea but she hates golfs, thinks only chavs buys them and is sick of going to work and having to visit people who have had their Golfs nicked..................
Type-R= It would only be the new shape, I know they may be gutless and need to be revved to get anything out of it, but to be fair, its going to be my wife and kid tootling around in it so i don't think thats going to be an issue...
RS4+ Sub £12k????
ST, Mondeo= Forgot to say I'd never buy a ford
Leon Cupra= Great shout and 5 door too, but I'd want a yellow one and the Mrs isn't keen
X5= I'd go with one of these but she seems to be on some sort of ECO drive, wanting a car with high mpg, low service costs etc
