Quinn used to be quite good for me, but since I turned 30 they've been at least £200 away from my best quotes.

306 and Xsara are out.
Driven my Grandads 306 and in terms of refinement, compared to the 406 it would be quieter and more comfy to be dragged along behind it in a cardboard box.

406 is fine considering I stick with the 1.9TD and as said, the fuel savings will cover the extra insurance cost.

On the other hand I'm popping out to look at this...
