Kid just realised the appropriate action to take when dealing with a compact.

Well I was going to put something down to support my view on the e46 compact, but it seems as though the subject has been more than adequately covered

:D


Obvioulsy I hope your auntie is ok and suitably covered by insurance, but some education as to the purchase of an E30 318iS is definately in order.
