O.K,

I'm going mad, I can't decide on which car I want next. The criteria:-

1. It needs to be able to seat 4 adults (so no 2 seaters)
2. It needs to be quicker than my current car - Integra Type R
3. It needs to be a good drivers car, plenty of feeback etc...(this is the tough one as the Integra is a great drivers car, I really feel connected, it's just not fast enough).
4. Within £16K
5. Not too keen on RWD as I can't put the power down in the wet and hold on to it.


Considering a Sti-6 type R or RA vairant, had and EVO6 but don't want one again (great pointy steering)...

What to you guys recommend.

Cool

Looking for a car to a similar spec as well, but the EVO VI is top of my list at the moment...
How about a Nissan Skyline GTR R33? As I'm sure you know, they are very highly rated drivers cars and in one test I've got in Autocar (against a 22B, Carrera and EVO V) it was said to have one of the best steering setups on any car in the world for feel and accuracy.

Scoobysnacks,

I've done a double post and and posted this on Sooby General.

Anyway, I've had an EVO6 and it was a very fast car, however I just didn't gel with it, I had it in winter and had a couple of probs whioch were sorted under warranty but I didn't warm to it.

I certainly wouldn't go for a skyline, I find them far too big, I see them a more of a grand tourer than a UK B-roads chuckabout. That's why I love my Teg, it's great on the tight country roads bu just lacks that ulitimate power.

Cool

I think they're a bit too big as well...
Ok then, I reckon the Scooby is your best bet as there really aren't many cars that fit your spec as I've found out myself.

Skyline GTR R34 :-) 300+bhp from the showroom with room to get to 1000+bhp (3 cars in this country rated at that without the use of happy gas!)

Serious question... What could a Scooby get to BHP wise without the infamous NOS?
