Moving house, and will have some cash left over. Thinking of getting me a new motor. What should I get? See the poll for some options, but other ideas welcome (in same kind of price/performance bracket). Sorry for typo on "Impreza" in poll!
-
Wheres the mk3 on the poll :undecided:
-
The new GOLF GTI!!
Failing that get an Audi S4 saloon or avant!! Or just an A4 and get it chipped!! Thats what im going to do when I get mine (in the very distant future...)
All depends on your budget tho..any idea how much cash ull have spare; if you dont mind me asking...
-
Looking for a 2nd hand car (sub 60K miles). £10K to £13K.
-
That audi that sugar has linked too looks like a good buy..... :evil: :undecided:
Seriously get a Audi S3, i can outpace it but my god such a nice car, and its german. What more can you ask for. :cool: :cool:
-
I'd be tempted by the Audi S3
The others either look sh*t, or have got a crappy image for one reason & another, and every week that goes by, someone will either scratch yer car or give you a w*nker sign!  :laugh: S2000 is a no, no for your image (unless your a gay pornstar or summat)
...Test drive em, as they're all great cars. Mechanically the scooby is an amazing car (having owned a couple and my mate's got a GroupN rally!) shame they're commen as muck around here and look iffy. if its the latest Scooby import or Prodrive spec, get one (if you can afford the fuel!)
-
The S3's my current fav. Driven one, and a couple of scoobies recently. Fortunately, I'm not a gay pornstar (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view :laugh:) - just thought i'd throw the s2000 in there to get people thinking!
-
Anyone else got any views?
-
what about an evo 8
-
maybe - it's a bit Jap boy racer Fast n Furious stylee for me (I think the impreza is about my limit on that front). :tongue:
-
R32?
-
^^^ for £10-13grand?!?!!?!
nothing wrong with an s2000, my boss had one and it was a f**kin laugh to drive, so easy to get the back end out and for a jap car sounded kinda throaty.
bmw's are nice but everyone's got one (in a way, you know what i mean)
tt's same thing, lovely cars but too many and they're all driven by wanna be r&b tossers
subaru, good fun i like them alot but not sure if i'd want to own one, plus cheap interiors
v6 4 motion, may as well get the s3
so i'd go for the s3, you pay alot for the audi name but there you go. the other option is the seat leon cupra r. same floorpan as the golf and the a3, same engine as the TT, less of them around too.
not sure what i'd buy to be honest!!!
-
Yeah id say in that bracket go for the Seat Leon Cupra R, should be able to get a 225 in that price range now. i had one as a demo befoore i went to vauxhall. it was f**kin awesome car, far superior to a TT
-
S3 or Leon Cupra R, but I'd go S3 if the choice was mine. :smiley:
-
badge whore!
-
what about an evo 8
I second that. I think you should drive them. the 330ci sport would be good. a collegue had one, shame about the sales rep image though. The S3 is tempting... Is fuel consumption an issue ?
If you do alot of miles, a 5 series sport is a very nice car.
-
Hmm... Leon Cupra R - forgot about them. Thanx!!  :evil:
Only thing (apart from image) against this compared to S3 is lack of 4wd. :undecided:
-
Come on peeps! Need more votes. :wink:
-
S3 seems the best of the bunch you posted
tbh totally unsure what i'd do.
i do know with a couple k's more i'd be severely tempted with the idea of an NSX...
in reality.. i'd rather spend the money elsewhere..
but i'm saving for a house so i'm in a talk myself out of spending mentality :)
-
...think this will help settle your mind.
