Stan 24v 0 Posted May 20, 2006 Bit of advice please ;) The missus currently drives a 1.2 Clio Extreme, which I have to say is a great car!! Even if it is French :lol: She wants a slightly bigger car, but no more than £4k. What you reckon? Im saying Golf Mk4, Audi A3, BMW Compact. She WONT have a Corrado, after knowing what I spend on mine :lol: So dont go there!! Discuss ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted May 20, 2006 I think a 1.2 is a bit OTT mate ;) Maybe a 600cc smart. (I will get f*ckin shot for that comment!!!!!! I don't mean it!!!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted May 20, 2006 i bcant think of any better than the three youve mentioned! they are all dull as dishwater mind! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted May 20, 2006 Seriousy, don't go for the Compact. like having a golf driver - not quite there is it. I think A3's are nice. Less common than Golufs. Go for a 1.8T and chip it to 230 first without telling her! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted May 20, 2006 At the moment, that 1.2 is running a lot better than your 2.9 Will :lol: Shes not too keen on the beemer anyway. A3 or Golf it is then. Only problem with the A3 is that it costs a lot more than the Golf, for essentially the same car :censored: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted May 20, 2006 You'd be surprised how quick she goes on SOME days mate ;) Essentially the same but they do feel different mate. Everything is 'tuned' different to make them feel like different cars. The gap is getting smaller and smaller but I have to say I'd rather be in the Proudy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted May 21, 2006 i've got a spare seat marbella junior or an audi 90 20v going!.. could cost you £4k if you like! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcus 0 Posted May 21, 2006 A 'Brabus' smart car? cheap, fun, fast, economical and actually quite scary to drive! Regardless, how are you gona fit a decent car in the kitchen or bedroom anyway???. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted May 21, 2006 I'd go for something bigger than an A3 or Golf. They are a sought after size of car, for the same money you could get a slightly bigger car with more features, Toledo, Bora, Octavia, Passat all spring to mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted May 21, 2006 How about that SA imported Golf MK1 that's on Autotrader? Other than that I'd go with an Octavia or a Passat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
