Had a good look round a few cars at the Berkshire show today ....and one in particular seemed to be quite nice......second hand it could be very nice ..and cheap as well.

Would have to have a test drive...just to make sure

See if you can guess what I was looking at from the Spec....must admit I would find it difficult to guess from this ...so on the makers site it comes in at around

It's some variety of dual cab pickup truck at a guess.

No it is definitely a 5 door estate

also had a look at the Dodge calibre ....yeaaaaccchhhh tacky or what

As I said in another thread , I like the look of the car from the outside , the price and spec are good. It's just a shame that the interior is way too cheap. They could have used better quality plastics and still have a pretty good price.

It's a shame really because it looks so different from the out side.....I couldn't even bring myself to sit in it.

And the next clue in the guess what car it is ...it's not VAG ...gasp shock horror

Volvo V50?

D5 Spec?

Saab innit!

Not Swedish, French, German or Italian

God, not a Rover 75:eek:

Jaguar x-type?

No to the Rover and Jag

here's a picture

Toyota Avensis

Vectra Estate?

Toyota Avensis

Just put us out of our misery Octygone!!!

Avensis here too

Pathfinder?

have you been looking as well

There was a letter in the Telegraph yesterday which mentioned it.

Whats my prize?!?!?

Toyota Avensis ...very nice and (if the test drive goes OK ) in 18 months time could make a very good 6 month old buy ........looked at the passat (claustraphobic or what) and a few others...but the Avensis looks to be just what I am after

A doughnut

I knew it was an Avensis when I saw the "drivers knee airbag"

It's the only car available with this as far as I know, also having quite a few of them on the fleet (replacing the Skoda's) I recognised the boot in the pic!!

Very good choice, slightly cramped compared to your Superb but you will notice the way superior build quality, it's a different league. and so is the reliabilty, have very few problems with any of ours and they hold there value exceptionally well too unlike Skoda's.

got to say was very impressed by the way it was put together and so far all the road tests are good
