5k for a new car. Suggestions
« on: 26 October 2011, 16:46 »
All being well I have 5k for a car and 2k for insurance (manchester area, 24,  :sick: Bare in mind the mk3 is £1500 per year)
For some reason tdi's are very high insurance...? Looking for something sporty, reliable & nice to look at. So far I have considered Cooper S, TT,
Anyway suggestions as the mk3 has pretty much killed my passion for cars.  :sad:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

+1 for a fully loaded Cooper S. 1 year down the line for me and haven't looked back. Plus, I've survived a year so far without needing to fit a smaller pulley to satisfy my power needs! I drive like a total tool and still get 30mpg average during the week (no motorway at all) and on m'way trips 48mpg@60mph and 40mpg@70mph.

Manchester, 25, ~£600 per year on insurance (4yrs NCB).
