So looking at buying a second car and any help would be appreciated as I'm really prarrie canoe at making my mind up.
Looking at a maximum budget of £4K for the car (ignoring tax/insurance).
so what would you lot recommend? Ideally after a 4 door with fold down rear seats as looking at doing track days and would be good to get tools and tyres in the back. A tow bar would be a plus as I could then trailer the 5.
help!

Ford Focus Estate. I had an old prarrie canoeter one for a bit, Ron will vouch for how useful it was getting all his aircon units in the back. Massive inside and the 1.7 tdci engine is quick and torquey, I drove it ever where in three gears. 2, 3 and 5.

for comfort commuting ? some sort of lexus diesel or a datsun qashqow, or a jag (xf? xj barge ?) diesel if I could find one cheap/clean enough.
for fun... been tempted by the scooby life of late, or an evo.
the m235i tempts too but, meh, Tailgate McNoIndicate.

Volvo diesel. I'm still looking to get myself one but I'm partial to a 740 and manual diesel ones appear to be rocking horse faeces
