  • 4 wheel drive
  • Performance orientated, not comfort/cruiser
  • Can have 4 doors
  • Must have a large displacement engine
  • Must be petrol
  • Must be a V shape engine
  • Budget? £2500 or less, but if it's the perfect car then £3000 is possible


:afro: All you need.

Golf 4 V6 4Mo?
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

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

Ditto. Audi s3 is really there in my mind too, it's a big possibility. Scooby and evo ate big likes, but evo is £3000 upwards. Scooby is a big big like at the moment.

Yeah that's the only downside to then, but as driver's cars they're amazing so I've heard. S3 is really temping.

Most s3s for 3k will be dogs, I'd guess that the same will be true with most evos and scoobys for that budget. My money would be on a lcr or a 2.8 4motion
