I'm looking to change my car about September/December time, currently driving a 206 Gti, what suggestions do you guys have for my next car. Don't know if I want a bigger car, but I know I want more performance.


Thanks

RS Grant

It all depends on how much you want to spend mate...

Cheers,

Hicky

Good point!!!!

say up to 15K

Mr Gee

What kind of car you after ?

Sport / luxury /convertible / hot hatch / performance ?

Hicky

Probably a hatchback (3dr) or maybe a smallish saloon.

RS Grant

If you enjoy your 206GTi then you might want to have a wee look at the new 206GTi 180bhp model. Not sure what you will pay for one though, prob a couple grand over your budget!!

Maybe a GT TDi Golf 130/150, maybe spend a few quid on getting it re-boosted too...

Dare I say it.............. A Scooby?!?!

I think the 206 180 is priced at £14995

Hicky

Have been watching the gti 180 closely but the autocar review wasn't glowing, will see what EVO have to say. Scooby would be ace but maybe running costs maybe on the high side.

Saying that it would be sitting outside my house most weekdays as I take the train to work!

My other ideas are the Clio 172 sport or Leon Cupra maybe cupra R.

What about the civic type r? or the litchfield integra type r? Very nice cars

jonc

I'd say go for Leon Cupra R as a good compromise of a hot hatch and saloon.

Hicky

Looked at the Civic but inside its a bit plasticky and looks like a box, as for the Leon maybe, heard that they aren't put together very well, my mate works in the service dept of my local dealer.

Want something reliable as my 206 has let me down a couple of times which I put down to it being an early nodel car.

RS Grant

Not a big fan of Civic Type-R's... I understand that they go well, they are even put together well, and they are reliable enough and good value but just dont like the way that they look...

Leon Cupra-R is a huge amount of car for the money, 210bhp|Brembos|18's|Fully loaded interior all for under 16k...

P.S - Can you send PM's on Scoobynet??

Focus ST170 (used)

Grant, no you can't

Clio 172 or Cup

I've had two 206GTi's and an Impreza and am having more fun in the Cup than all of them

RS Grant

Ah right...

Was just curious!!

Nevermind...
