Advice please - company car Mondeo driver, coming out of company
scheme, need help with buying 'first' car after years of being
mollycoddled by fleet support.
Have £20k to spend (or around £600 per month) - attracted to a BMW.
Need - leather seats (because my Mondeo has them!) but also luggage
space - I'm worried about a tiny boot that I've heard comes with
BMW's, but don't fancy an estate model. Not sure why, just looks odd.

I know some here will be stunned to see *me* suddenly acting the
heretic, but have you looked at the Jag X-Type? We got one (3.0 Sport
5-speed w/nav system - Phoenix RED) a few months ago and it's
insistently tugging me away from the Cult of the Roundel. If you
liked the Mondeo, try this *really nice* AWD Mondeo (All US X-Types
are AWD.).

@#%&* C.R., I just spent big bucks renewing my membership in the BMWCCA. It was bad enough you had one foot in the Audi camp -
but now, my whole world could fall apart here.
