Hi,

Happy new year, hope you all had a good one!

I'm thinking of purchasing a new car and have decided to try something different to an impreza. If I can afford it I will keep my bugeye aswell, as I love it, but just fancy a change for a bit.

I still fancy a turbo motor, don't think I could go back to a na motor now. Can you offer some advice please up to about 8-10k .

Cheers

 

I had a mazda 3 mps 2.3 turbo before my Scooby and that was a cracking car, very quick and comfy with all the mod cons etc, only draw back was the £400 road tax know u can pick them up fairly cheap now!!

 

Make that £490 a year now.

 

yes mate , feeling the MPS , I had one a mint red mk1 till a couple months ago and lovvvvvvved it, pretty dam quick as well but the road tax was a proper pi55 take.


The interior was like a dream and the bose sound system, WOW

 

I know it's N/A, but what about an E46 M3.

 

its a yes from me , but being a large engine 3.2? will the tax be big £££

 

Cheers for the advice guys , I must admit I have looked at those Mazda 's very under rated I think and pretty quick , but yes that tax is mental.
M3's ok but was thinking more of a hatch,

What about megane sport, focus st, supra, skyline, etc

 

Golf R32

 

Leon Cupra / K1

 

Make that the Edition 30. A special edition GTI with cheaper tax , more economical and in the real world probably faster too with it being a tuned up turbo.

 

It strikes me slightly strange to keep the bugeye and buy something else performance turbo related. Or is your bugeye big power or something? I could understand buying a cheap diesel (keeping the bug for weekend) or a weekend special (using the bug daily) but another similar car making two that are every day useable?

Sell the bug and buy a JDM STI maybe? Or a nice evo 8 mr in gunmetal.
