You can get a very good late 2.2 DTI Sport for that money, that will more than suit your needs 8)

Hallo only ever had the 2.2 DTI and I love it.................. :D

Learnt lots on this Forum before taking the plunge. Found mine at this address http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/motors. Had to travel to Bristol to buy it, but it was worth it. Spent ages looking berore finding the right one, so dont rush in to it and be patient, as there are good ones out there.

Good luck

I would definately buy a 2.2 Dti, have used mine for pulling generators around. Quite torquy once beyond 1900 rpm. I get aroung 32 to 34 mpg out of mine so the best of both worlds.
