Best Gadgets

    I am looking to buy a second hand car and my budget is around 10 -11k. I really love gadgets - especially in my car.

    I was just wondering what you think is the best car for gadgets / electronics in that price range. I am currently looking at a 2002 Primera which has a really cool dash and on-board display - added to the rear view camera. However a few people on here seem to think that the 1.6 handles badly and is a killer on petrol.

    Any recommendations - which cards do you think has the best offers.

    Thanks for your help

    PS Forgot to say that I probably can't get any bigger than 1.8. Insurance!!!!

    2Lt Pimera is ok.

    If you what gadgets and all that can i please recommend the Fiat Stilo 1.6l

    My mate has one with the wee extras - Trip computer, city driving mode, belt auto alert, automatic door locking when you go over 30 mph. And plenty more.

    Fait?? Well he's never had a problem with it

    The best gadget of them all is in the new Aston Martin DB9, which has missile launcher capability but I think it may be out of your price range

    FWIW I love gadgets too but IMHO you'd be far more satified long-term with a car that drives well rather than one that has some gadgets which you will, in a very short time, either be irritated by or wont use anymore
