>>all fully meeting your requirements <<
I worked for a chain that dealt in LR, they are not in any sense of the word reliable, some of the early Td5 Discoverys didnt even make it to the dealership before lunching their engines and the tales of woe that I hear from customers who spend massively more than I do on Land Rovers do not inspire confidence about one that costs £2.5k.
I have never owned an Alfa, they are nice but impractical for my needs. The GTV, even the twin spark, really pushes my buttons I have to say, but my cars have to be relevant to my practical needs so I dont have fancy motors and Alfa have a limited range.
I dont mind Citroen, my dad had 4 in the late 80's to mid 90's but I dont like the way they drive, awful sloppy gearboxes and too complex to take a punt on for me at my buying age.
I hate Mondeos, they are so middle of the road boring and I have never understood why people rave about the driving experience, it did nout for me.
I owned a Fiat, a Renault and a Citroen once. The only car that I liked so much that I sought one out again was the Charade and the only car I regret selling was the Reliant. that is the wonderful thing about cars - what you like and what works for you is very individual and I actually wouldnt buy a mainstream car just because it is mainstream - it is hard enough for me to want to keep a car, I need something different to keep my interest.
