Looking for a new daily drive

Just been looking at specs, MPG is good, tax is £145 for the year. and they can be had for less than £2k. Just depends on the boot size

Pictures the following...

*Ammo arrives at a middle aged house wife's house to view a used V40 advertised for sale*
*middle aged house wife starts waxing lyrical about how good the car has been and how well it runs etc*

That's about right

Diesel mk2 crv? Our petrol one has been great, drives really well, plenty of toys, power socket in the boot as standard, boot floor is also a table! Split rear seats, big boot etc etc etc.
Our 03 was just over 2k about a year ago.
Or, dare I say it again, rover 75. 60+mpg, BMW 5 series running gear, toys a plenty. If you can't handle the interior, get a black trim kit to replace the wood, or, get the MG version. (ZT)

Ammo won't take a V70, will probably say something weird like he doesn't like the dash.

My daily/family ride is a mk3 mondeo hatchback tdci. i picked it up for £360 quid with 160k on the clock only needing disks and pads and a rear wheel bearing. with careful driving i hae had 70mpg out of it (according to the trip computer). they are big and comfortable with all the basic toys (air con, electric windows all round, remote central locking, heated fronnt screen which is amazing) and pretty easy to upgrade (i won a set of heated leather seats on ebay for £50)

I havent tried yet but with the rear seats down you should comfortable get a double mattress in.

I have had 2 now and i love them! i dont think they are too bad looking either!
