    not to be an ass but i thought it met your needs perfectly? a diesel for your high mileage thats comfortable and quick? unless youre not doing the carlow and back thing anymore?

    Not comfy enough for my back, not overly economical and I just wanted a change.

    Almost identical but a facelift saloon one (quieter and smoother) with a few more toys.

    True I suppose!

    Since you now have the Civic, is the 3MPS out the window?

    Ah the MPS was always a while off, I'd rather spend money getting the race cars ready than but something for the road

    Are you going to get the few bits of body work fixed on the civic? Or are you just going to leave it?

    I'll most likely fix them, even if I was to turn the car into a track slut I'd want the roof fixed

    It would need to be an Avensis or Skoda in that case.

    Yeah, one of the reasons I went for it is reliability. The 2.2s are supposed to be pretty solid so here's hoping!

    I`d second the Mazda our race school ones have never let us down even when subjected to fairly stubburn outside interference (Tyre walls).

    Do they not also spend most of their time with the rev limiters on though?

    You can only get the lower powered one here unless you get the Z sport which is near impossible to find and way overpriced (€36k). So 129 is the one I'm getting. It's more than enough though as the 6 is actually a pretty light car for its class. Was miles better than the 2 litre 140 Mondeo I was looking at.

    129 is gonna take a bit of getting used to! is the new 6 that comfortable though? and more economical than the vrs to warrant changing?

    Main reason is that I want a change tbh. There really isn't a huge difference in performance which suprised me. It's very quiet and smooth IMO, much more so than the pre facelift model I looke at.

    But it's got toys to keep me happy too. All I need to add is a nav system. Doesn't have xenons though:(

    He won't get far with three wheels.
