I'm looking to replace my DD (currently a battered old Honda Accord) with something a little more luxurious/powerful and am hoping you guys might have some ideas of good cars to look into.
So far I've been looking down the route of an older 5/7 series BMW or Audi A8, so you get a bit of an idea of what I'm after, however I'd really like to go for turbo power. The criteria my DD has to meet:
1. It's gotta be big. Not 4WD big, but a big saloon big (as mentioned 7 series/A8 kinda size if poss). Space and comfort level are major factors here.
2. It's gotta be a sleeper. I want something that's not gonna get noticed by the police, or anyone else for that matter.
3. It's gotta be reliable. I'm not so concerned about maintenance costs, and I appreciate that not much is as reliable as Honda, but decent reliability is a must.
4. I want it to have a stonking turbo engine (which is where the German possibilities fall down). I know there are some Lexus out there that come with a solid turbo engine, but no idea which.
5. EDIT - Forgot the most important part!! Budget is anywhere up to £6000, but obviously the cheaper the better!!
So if any of you guys have any good ideas, I'd love to hear them!!
Cheers!
