Was a long time ago, should of got it properly inspected, young and stupid and too eager to get into a turbo car after Ps :P 

I reckon you were too eager to get into a Ford personally

You kunce seem to know some shit.. I've asked before but I'll try narrow it down a bit this time..

2010 onwards, small/medium sized, preferably 4 door, not ugly, some luxuries would be good (sunroof / leather / heated seats to name a few) decent sound system (ipod integration essential) auto or manual is fine

Was thinking $10k max but happy to drop another $5k if it gets me something that meets the above criteria

Go.
Gold star if your suggestion leads to purchase

At the moment Honda accord euro seems to tick most of those boxes, my mate has an 04 for a daily and seems to rate it for that purpose, but apart from that I'm pretty much just searching all makes between $7,500-$15000 which doesn't narrow it down much...

my first thought with the above description would be a subaru liberty Premium

12K leather sunroof Bluetooth 12 month warranty

E90 BMW's have dropped big time recently.

320 leather sunroof, usb

But my actual suggestion, and from a little left field.

Skoda Octavia RS

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/SKODA-Octavia-2011/SSE-AD-5185939/?Cr= 1

think Golf Gti in a 4 door with all the luxuries.

we will be test driving these when Katie gets a new car later this year.

 

For reliability and features I'd be staying Japanese

These seem like awesome value for recent cars. 4 door, leather, iPod garbage, not completely gutless, 7.5L/100, look okay for a modern sedan

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
