What car for £6K?
« on: 28 February 2012, 11:52 »
May have found a buyer for the scoob, and with a few extra pennies thrown in will have a budget of about 6K for a new car.

I need something relatively frugal, would like a bit of poke, and nothing too small. Getting too old for the modding game now (and really can't be bothered to throw money at something that will ultimately lose value), so it would be good if it looked good out of the box.

What would you buy?

Thanks!

Fuel and tax - average. It's more about the car, just not sure what I want.

VAG would be good, but it's not a lot of money to buy anything that nice.
