It is a beautiful Saturday morning, the editorial staff sat at the tea and @larssb had this time Bastognekoeken included. An additional of the annual AB and drinks, we sat down with tiny red eyes and brainstorm about fun topics for the coming week, we hear the unmistakable sound of a new e-mail in the box!
It appears to be an email from Sven. Sven rides this time in a Renault Laguna Gran Tour 2.0 GT trim, a favorietje here in the newsroom. Sven is an expert, that much is clear. The Renault like still excellent, but ultimately if you want something different. Something with enough power and torque, not only to enjoy, but also because of the 1300 kg heavy caravan. Sven has two children, but given the fact that it is also a coupe may be, we’re going to assume that they don’t always ride, but that the possibility is there.
You had him already expected, the overview of the requirements:
Current /previous car:Renault Laguna grand Tour 2.0 T GT205
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / private:Private
Budget:€ 27.500 (including trade-in current car)
Annual mileage:15,000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:Gasoline
Reason to purchase another car:Interested in something else
Family composition:Two adults and two children (18 and 19)
Preferred brands /models:Sports coupe or a station with trunk
No-go models / brands:Opel and Peugeot
We took another Bastogne koek (@MauritsH even 2!), went looking and came up with the following options:
Therefore, this can not: Ford Focus ST Wagon
This was so beautiful. First car that we thought. This car has everything. Good equipment, thick recaro’s, peppy engine and fine handling characteristics. In addition, it is a practical station wagon with a very spacious cargo area, so your wife would also be happy. However: unfortunately a no-go, because the ST has a central exhaust outlet, so there is no hitch behind can. However, a Mondeo Wagon with 240hp strong 2.0 Turbo in Titanium trim is also easy to find and there is a solution to a hitch behind.
The logical choice: BMW 328i Touring M-Sport
Perhaps the best of this list. 245pk and rear-wheel drive. 27.5 k, you should do some research because a lot of the choice is not there. Of all the 2.0 litre turbocharged engines that BMW just a little bit nicer. Fast and relatively economical also. Also the caravan has a 328 no difficulty. You would also be a full E91 (the previous type) with thick, six-cylinder, but this is pretty out of date if you put him next to this place. It is this type still provided, you to drive in an ‘old model’. A pleasant thought.
Still thick: Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TFSI Pro Line S
The A5 Sportback is still a beautiful appearance. It is this practical enough, and there can be a strong caravan, if you go for a quattro version. The 2.0 Turbo is a very fine block in the dealings. A lot of torque at the bottom and relatively economical. It appears that the A5 is a little less reliable than your current Renault Laguna. So Check if the olieschraapveren issue is addressed. Manual gearbox is very pleasant, Multitraumatronic bake less and a thorny issue. Very fine cars, but please for a moment. The model year versions can 1500kg pull, the quattro versions even 1700kg.
Product: Volkswagen CC 1.8 TFSI R-Line
The nephew of the A5 Sportback. And in terms of problems, the same: check, so even if the issues with the olieschraapveren is adjusted. The 1.8 TSI is a fine companion, the 2.0 TSI is even finer, but unfortunately not easy to find in NL. In terms of design, not great excitement, but it is still a neat car that you (wrongly) don’t see. The interior is very nice, especially in the Highline version enjoy complete. All the benefits of a Passat, but just a bit more attractive. The Passerati with 1.8 TSI may 1500kg pull, the 2.0 TSI 100kg more.
Excellent compromise: Volvo V60 T5 R-Design
In addition to all of that PHEV versions, you might almost forget that there are also ‘more normal’ versions of the Volvo V60. You can choose from a T3, T4, T5 or T6. The T6 is perhaps a little too much of the good, the T3 and T4 have a 1.6 motor. Not wrong, but in your budget you can also go for the T5. Then you have a 2.0 turbo with 239pk. In addition, you can say that you have a T5 R have, in some Volvo circles is that a holy number/letter combination. The V60 is not really very large, but practical enough. The advantage is that it is much tastier smoelt than the somewhat cheesy V70.
Solid alternative: Lexus IS 250 F-Sport
How reliable do you want to have? For 27.5 k you can also watch a very, very, very last version of the IS250, just before the new came gave Lexus the F-Sport line, complete with everything you want: big wheels, tight and bumpers dressed interior. On the editor we can make the design of this type which is better appreciate than the present one. The V6 requires a bit of rpm hunting, but rewards you with a nice sound. Most of the problems with the Lexus IS are related to the diesel version. The 208pk strong, the motor can be braked 1500kg pull. Great offer.
Chic-de-friemel: Mercedes-Benz E250 Coupe AMG Pack
Technically, this is not an E-class, but a C-class. That should not spoil the fun, because they seem to be total, not on each other. The C-class is the sportier sibling, but the E-class Coupe. Especially with the AMG package, it is just a great car to see. In terms of motorization you can get two sides. I would be a four-cylinder recommend, with 204hp you come short of nothing and they are easy to tickle. The 250 has been running 247 km/h. The E300 e E350 to fit better in the car, but consume significantly more.
Would he still come? Alfa Romeo 159 & Brera
The answer to your all questions is, of course, always been an Alfa Romeo 159. Or a Brera. 27.5 mille you have a late model with all the options you want and a low mileage. Just as the Laguna is more reliable than people think and a nice car also. No jokes, but he fits perfectly in the demands, as always. And now it is ready with the Obesity-Opel with six headlights.
