C Class.

If you wear a tracksuit regularly and are somewhat young looking, it definitely looks stolen

can you turn in into a Flintstones style machine? or maybe we should get another cheapo gearbox for it and turn it into a Top Gear style convertible people carrier

Let's do it lol you could borrow it if you do need it as I think iv changed my mine about that gearbox idea.

Accord or Rover 75, don't worry about the pipe and slippers image, diesel in both cases

I've had the Insignia 2.0 CDTI 163bhp for about a year and as an estate has loads of room and since owning it has averaged 50mpg. Pretty quick with a lot of torque, although the main dealers are worse than awful.

Just bare in mind (if you're looking for a diseasel) the huge amount of issues with dpf's. I've just been working on a Mazda 5 2.0 diesel (same engine as mazda 6) and that's had loads of dpf issues. Just replacing it now (at a cost of around £1,000 on parts).

I have a renault laguna 1.9 dci which is fantastic. Comfy and fairly economical - averaging around 60 mpg on motorways and 48mpg around the town. Shares parts with Nissan so similar to the Nissan Primera.

I've heard that if you're looking at a civic diesel then go for a dtec one as opposed to the cdti. Can't remember why but there was some sound resonant behind it.

Or if you give a jobby about the environment and poor sods with respiratory problems, don't do that.

This is what I did to every diesel, saves on big bills and you get cheap power.
