Default Thinking of a new car next year
Right

At some stage next year, im going to change cars, I still love my car, but need something easier to live with daily.

What are your opinions on Evo 8 or 9?

I need something that I can tow with, thats comfortable to drive, exciting and powerful as well as economical when needed.

Thoughts ?

Evo & economical - two words that simply don't go together

Your list of requirements is something that just doesn't exist.

Best offer to you is a BMW 335d

Appreciate the ideas, but just not ready to be owning a beemer yet. Feel like i have to give the Evo a go.

Isnt there someone on this forum who had / has one ?

Bearing in mind, will be towing a superjet which weighs nothing

How much you want to spend? My sister is just buying a 3 year old Audi s5 which someone has lost £22k on in 26000 miles! Ouch.

Awesome car for the money

I don't think you can hit all those points on one car.

The Legacy spec B on LPG is a brilliant call.

You could go for a used Phaeton V10 tdi, they are as low as 13,000 to 14,000 now.
Not exciting though.
