Title: Mk4 1.8t - could be on it's way out!!
Post by: Lewy on 21 December 2005, 19:50
Right, my Mk4 Anniversary has been really boring/pi55ing me off me lately and I'm considering flogging it.

With the Anniversary prices still holding well I've got about £14.5-15.5k to play with, so I've come up with something a bit canny, not to most peoples tastes, but with my wonderfull lady expecting, I thought it would be usefull, plus the smile on her face when she's pulling 100 plus is sooo funny.

I think they look slightly less MAAAAAD than the 5 and 6, and are a bit more user friendly

or a

Prob a 2.5 with the toys, but I'm still undecided.

I would prefer a German car really, but it needs to be relatively new, not an E30 M3, she'd kill me!!

Been down the A3 route, don't really like the new shape, and an S3's boot is too small.

Bleedin' students and their finance! :laugh:

I would looooove an RS4, but I can't stretch, as for the BM being a 330, I would probbably go for the 2.5

If you want a sensible family car.. Theres always the new Jetta or Passat. They're both OTR from £14.5k

Have you looked at the old Audi quattros and the newer diesels??

They're all decent, but I certainly rate the drive of my old E30 highest. Thankfully not "chav" round here, we're still on corsa's and saxos  :grin:

I dont know about them being 'chav' cars.. i mean i grant you, the 80's classic we know and love seem to be getting dragge down into the depths of the evil sea of barry. But i dont think id rate them as chav chariots just yet.

Now the Chavalier.. thats a chav family car!

I'm probably going to go for a 7 as they seem to be more subtle, and have a slightly more aerodynamic look.

6's are a bit leary i think!!, which is why i like them!

7's are as u say more subtle and just look a whole lot newer, the isnt much difference between the 7 and the 8, jsut the front end really!
