OK well as you all know by now i have 2 cars one which is the weekend toy (lexus) one that is my weekday commute (Stagea)

with the above being said things have changed with work etc and dont need and estate (typical)

so im now torn with the following ideas:-

do i keep the estate and mod it a little bit turbo manual gearbox etc etc that will see the car at around 300bhp.

do i Sell the estate in favour of a more upto date car again which will suit my role and be a diesel thus better economy been looking at lexus 220D.

last option sell the estate and just drive the lexus all the time, not keeping it as my relaxation car lol

If the Stagea is going to be your run-around car then I'd avoid the turbo etc purely for the possible downtime involved / reliability issues / fuel.

I'd be leaning more towards an economical estate of some sort. I wouldn't buy a 220D though personally.

I'd personally just drive the Lex, though that would be in favour of spending the money on something else. Though it would be a shame to pile too many miles on the old girl. If you can easily afford it, go for the 220D and double Lexus it up!
