It had to happen sooner or later

Prices are high for everything at the moment, I paid £14K with 58K miles about 3 months ago from a dealer very clean with service history. Thrashing it around everywhere the mpg is low 40's, the only time I ever see it into the 30's is driving 2 miles to the shops when it is cold. Mine has the CUNA engine, maybe they have better fuel economy. GTD's pre mid 2015 don't have car play or android auto or keyless entry and button start.

£14k for a 16 plate is pretty reasonable. Maybe it's just the DSG ones that are pricey. Thanks again for the info :happy2: I think they map up to 220ish which might maintain my interest in it for more than a year :grin:

Good to know also, thanks :happy2:
My head is saying GTD, my inner hooligan is saying 335d :grin:
I'm one of those annoying people who look at a menu for 30 minutes and always order the same thing anyway, so I can't deal with choice :grin:

I might be shot down for suggesting this but I’ve always liked the look of the insignia VXR (particularly the touring version). Turbo V6 with 375bhp and 4wd before you’ve even started throwing the mods parts bin at it! Will likely be my next motor…

I see where you're coming from. They're 375 after mapping, according to Google, so quite thrusty! Too thirsty as well being petrol!

125d shadow edition worth a shout? Remap ok by the looks of it.
