The 4mo sounds awesome (especially with aftermarket exhaust) and grips like superman ringing out his laundry! (they do handle well, I have driven a few).

However, trying to get a nice one is like rocking horse shi.......

A V5 sounds good too, not quite V6, it is more of an offbeat rumble, almost like a Subaru or V5 Audi Quattro of the 80's. I havent driven one but a lot of people say they don't really have much going for them.

Which brings us along to the 1.8T!

It is light, it is immensly tunable and you can improve the grip and handling with possibly the biggest amount of parts available for all the mk4 platforms.

It will never sound like a v6, but with the right mods and in good condition it will go a lot better than one.

They are also getting cheap to buy and insure now, and mine returns around 35mpg, if it was legal i'd make love to it!

There is no law about shagging your car!

There should be!


How did u get that? I thought Id not posted that one up!
The day you see me in a diesel is the day there is no more petrol left :D

I was going to buy an M3 but there not worth it, most have been abused and the ownership costs are silly. You want to have around £2k-£3k sat in the bank in case anything goes wrong! Id rather spend that on upgrades/mods for a better all round car!

Have to say though everytime i hear an M3 boot i come home and check on pistonheads for one  :embarassed: A quick look at running costs puts me off though lol

Was looking at convertibles for about £13k-£14k but the money will lose and the cost to own it make it really hard to part with your cash! If i was going for a high end performance car for that money i would get this

Need to wait untill my wage goes up next year untill i can afford that and the R32 im getting tho  :evil:

I agree.

It is a really nice car and the bloke that had it when i looked at it was only selling because he had just bought a porker.  Its been for sale on here.
