What Car? - Sub

by **biggerbigneil** » July 4th, 2006, 4:49 pm

Just been talking with Ben about what we'd have for an only car for £15k tops. Must be fun, quick, look good, good build quality, girls should like it (very important). It must be used for the daily commute, poncing around and going to posh restaurants as well as going to car meets and having some road races in. The current list: -

Edited 06/07/06

Audi S3, TT (sorry)
BMW E46 330ci/d, E36 M3
Honda S2000
Lotus Elise S2
Porsche 911 (964), 944 S2 Cab, 968 Club Sport/Sport
Vauxhall VX220
VW Golf R32

What do you rekon is important for an only car?
A factor also to consider is that it will get left out now and again when too drunk to drive so can't be a vandals dream - Escort Cosworth

15k.. damm theres me thinking of getting a breadvan polo for £50 lol

MK4 R32 or 968 Sport (better all rounder than the Club Sport) for me. Mind you for a lot less than 15k I've got my fleet, OE+ V5 Bora, two G60's and a MK1 GTI Cab

Seat Leon Cupra R, Civic Type R.

Although for that money I'd want a 6 cylinder really, so an S4 would probably be my choice.

Bally - not saying we have £15k, just car choices at a reasonable budget
']['H3R4POR - not modified I'm afraid
Andy665 - like you're thinking, if it could be two I'd have an John's 16VG60 or an old Chimera (8k) and an old Golf. 1 car is more difficult!

Thinking about it some more there's something very appealling about a last of the line XJS - pretty well built in their later days and have a certain style about them nowadays

964 Carrera 2 or 4 :twisted:

Jag XJS - road races... every day - petrol = 1.5 mpg

964 - hmmm very interesting, the convertible ones look very nice indeed!
Kind of pushing over £15k though and I guess servicing costs would be silly?
If I get a job at Porsche, I'll get one!

E39 M5, or increase the budget a little and go for an NSX

by **GIXXERUK** » July 4th, 2006, 5:35 pm

what about a vx220 or a vx220 turbo 0-60 in 4.5 secs , cheap to service and a chick magnet :-)

by **RADO.001** » July 4th, 2006, 6:32 pm

id streach the budget for an NSX too steve_16v

S3, M3, 968 but ultimately depends on the kind of birds you're after . . .
