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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
