Title: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: GuvGTI on 18 December 2006, 16:26
We must all get the urge to change cars or think of what car we want to get next.

Whats yours to be?

Am struggling with that very question now....

Decisions, decisions.
Am tempted by a Provdrive STi Impreza, but if next year's trackday tool turns out to be an Impreza, seems daft having another one on the driveway.
Passat R36 looks good, but have a feeling it may end up being a bit of blamanche, and handling like a fwd car when pushed.
I hate to say it, but bmw is looking favourite with either 3 or 5 series M-sport.

Passat R36 - will that not have the 4WD system?????? Isnt it supposed to be VW's version of the Audi S4?

depends on the missus getting a company car.

if she does      -  Yaris T Sport ( don't slag it til you've driven one)
if she doesn't  -  Polo GTI  or  A3 1.8T

or maybe even a mk2 Golf GTI if I can find a good one when I want one.

I know mate its a tough one, not sure whether i should go old skool or get a new car.
ie e30 325 motorpsort
Thinking of the M3 myself would be e36 tho, possibly 328 sport or to get a e46 coupe.
But i wana be abit differnt. Will probably go for the bmw.

Tempted by a merc with deep dish Amg's tho, new cars are lacking drive nowadays.

Audis have come back now strong, but i think il get one of those after my next one that i get, wait for depreciation to hit!

Octavia Elegance TDI. Mint motors, VW underneath, and they are a good few grand lower than a base spec vw or audi tdi.

Post by: Neaty on 18 December 2006, 18:02
my next car, just to add to the other two i have, should be an Audi 80 S 1.8 Auto, should all go to plan financially.
Title: Re: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: martinb on 18 December 2006, 18:05
ideally Corrado VR6 or Golf rallye!  :cool:

must admit have been getting really tempted by some of the old Skool stuff recently too - mk1 polo/golf/rocco....

thats as long as the Mrs does not get her way, she claims not to like the Rado very much -too low and awkward to get in and out of + not enough doors for the children. Its also breaks too often and supposedly at times gets more attention than her!  :huh: If she gets her way it will probably be a Sharan or summat.... :lipsrsealed:

 :smiley:
Title: Re: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: Neaty on 18 December 2006, 18:08
get a sharan VR6 then  :wink:  :laugh:

I do fancy either Mark 4 1.8t or a Corrado in the future, quite tempted by the G60.

Yes mate, bluefox off here has one, and imo it is a mint car, a little on the ugly side, but what it lacks for it more than makes up for in features, and it goes like buggery. Comfortable and economic, and all mod cons you could need. Great cars.

Ideal next car would prob be, my mk2 when it is finished.

Title: Re: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: Adam_C on 18 December 2006, 19:12
i want an S3 next but my mk2 will do me for the next couple of years,

Studubs my dad has a Superb for a cab and its an awesome car its basically a passat crossed between an A6 but for a damn site cheaper.

I think it's going to be a Honda S2000 for me... Drove a new one round Millbrook testing ground last summer and loved the way it rev's round to 9000rpm. :cool:

Post by: ChrisO GolfO on 19 December 2006, 08:30
Im currently wondering if it is worth keeping the Mk2 GTi I just bought about 3 months ago and trading that in along with my Golf Mk4 1.4

With the money left over get an Audi A4 TDi then spending some dosh making it look a bit S4 ish

my aim is to have one of these before I am 30, that gives me 10 years to get a decent paid job.
I also want a Porsche 930 too at some point  :cool: my uncle has one thats similar to this one, I am going to try and persuade him to sell it to me when i can afford it.

i quite like those superbs aesthetically of i am honest, just like the old shape passats arent they, or have they brought a new one out recently

It's been facelifted, but it's still essentially a old Passat. The option's list is as long as your arm, to boot... I'd definately have another, or possibly a Fabia VRS.
If money were less of an issue, I'd have an A4 TDI Quattro.

Post by: Agreeable Slick on 19 December 2006, 23:06
on a completely random note, i had a Porsche GT3-RS go past me today at jct 11 on the M25. Sounded so nice, and looked filthy. I hate those bloody rich surrey people.
Title: Re: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: Stu.750 on 20 December 2006, 02:52
Ive got a list as long as my arm of what i want , including some totally random ones , like a V8 powered bubble arched MGB GT V8 , in BRG with white door spots
Title: Re: Your next Car- whats it to be??
Post by: maximk2 on 20 December 2006, 13:07

I have a real problem with cars as i keep selling them after 6 months because i get boared. I go through stages of wanting something economical, then some thing that goes like stink and then some thing with 5 doors to fit my kid in but my Mrs has spoken after i just got this one and she wont let me have my bank card any more. :angry: But Ive got a good all rounder at the moment with the vr mpg not great but oh well, so ill stick with this for abit......oooooh a g60 in auto trader..  :grin:
