Title: What will your next car be??
Post by: joesgti on 11 April 2008, 10:59
right, everyone has to put what they would like their next car to be. it cant be stupid like a veyron though. it has to be a car that you would seriously have and could afford as a next car.

mine WILL be either an ed30 or S3, not for at least a year and a half though.  :smiley:

Funnily enough I can't actually think of a car I'd rather have as a replacement at the moment. :cool:

Definitely something else from the VAG stable though :wink:

Only just picked up my GTI which I'll have for at least 3 years or more.  Next car?  Probably a MkVI GTI if it's any good.

Scirocco if they do the 250bhp R version or a MK6 with 240 ! :smiley:

RS4 is going to be my next serious toy with a Fiat 500 Abarth Essess for zipping around in.

Post by: hotrod on 11 April 2008, 14:01
...RS4 Avant or Mustang V8 GT Premium (nearly bought one before ED30)... dreaded (future) taxation on fuel, road tax etc was the deciding factor to get a hot hatch...
Title: Re: What will your next car be??
Post by: chrissyr32 on 11 April 2008, 16:50
I reckon (if i can afford it) a RS4 or S5. AUDI is the brand i would like to try next,quality products! Although i am missing my E46 M3 soooooo much,so if i could find a low mileage with still some warranty i might be tempted back!! :evil:

Post by: SteveS on 11 April 2008, 17:06

I'd love a Mustang! Been looking at them on pistonheads and you get alot of motor for your money, would love the drop top GT500. Just imagine the sound  :drool: Realistically though.. an S3. :smiley:

All goes well S3 (5Dr)
All goes really well RS4
All goes really really well Masrati Gran Turisimo
All goes really really really well an Apache Helicopter (Euromillions £32million!!! :grin:)

Well I've had my GTI for just a few weeks now and I just want to swap it for something that can go round corners quickly. Even the cheap runabout Citroen Xsara VTS I had whilst I decided what to replace the Audi with handled better and was less skittish.

I've done 500 miles since yesterday morning and have been left wishing the thing wasn't on my driveway.

Think I'll call into the Mitsubishi dealership tomorrow to see what the deal is on the Evo Hatchback they're bringing out is.

Im extremely happy with my ED30, I am gonna have to spend 40-50 grand plus to get a motor that is on par with it! Seeing as I dont have 40 grand im gonna stick with the ED for a while and get the replacement, ED 35, only another 5 years to wait!!

Keeping the GTI, unless I come into some monet and go back to a Porker. Still hanker for another Boxster S or a late model air cooled 993. Wallet is OK but head v heart is another matter  :huh:

Used to be indecisive but not so sure now :rolleyes:

Here, here - try an Advanced Driving Course or sell it to a forum member for £5k  :smiley:

This is a grown up car and not an out and out boy racer. I remember (showing my age here) buying a brand new Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 in 1986 ( :shocked:) and although it was a go cart, I couldn't stand the bone hard ride and utter crap build quality - I got rid for man Audi Coupe quattro - lovely understated driving experience after that :wink:

Next friday mate, I cannot tell you how slow the car feels now after experiencing that map!! Hopefully it will feel even quicker with the exhaust and the updated map.  :evil:

I quite fancy a mk6 golf when they come out to replace our second car.
Title: Re: What will your next car be??
Post by: Gulfstream11 on 13 April 2008, 16:24
Yeah same here.MK6 probably. The GTI is only a month old so in 3 years time I,ll  be ready.
Title: Re: What will your next car be??
Post by: neg on 13 April 2008, 23:25
Maybe's for me... Mk6 Golf could temp me if they keep it as good as the Mk5, wouldnt say no to the S3 or something slightly bigger like the S5  :cool:

ok guys ive been recovering cars now for 2.5 months and most of them are less than 5yrs old  :shocked:

quite afew of them have been audis  :shocked:

although only 1 was a cam belt
mostly the newer cars seem to be electrical/electronic probs

however, i recovererd a guy the other day with a bentley continental gt [paid 90,000]
who rents out prestige cars and we got talking

he told me he's driven most of the ferrari range, bentleys, astons but the two cars he raved about were the r8 and the rs4 [hes got 3 rs4 on the fleet and loves them]

so i'd say go for the rs4


me i want a hard top mk1 golf gti for my additional car  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

i love coming on the mk5 forum you lot do make me laugh  :grin:  :grin:  :grin: :laugh:

Looking at the prices of 2nd hand RS4's I think that could be a good choice  :cool:  Maybe even the Avant version!
