I´m thinking about another car (the Impreza goes to my girl...)
Which one would you take? Impressions?
What about the Prodrive gearbox???

 

No Poll option for none ????

 

LMFAO

 

get the saab - huge grunt and suspect handling=sweaty palms LOL

cracking !!!!

 

Wouldn´t have tought that the Saab would be rated so good. I think I´ll have to do a test drive then...

 

Is this with your own money? I hope not. You've just picked 3 of the most heavily depreciating cars possible (in the uk anyway)

 

Is this for a new car/nearly new? I'd go for the 9-5 Aero too - 250BHP if new, 230BHP (I think) if 2 years old +. I've had a fast Saab before (220BHP 9000 2.3T Carlsson) - peeps expect them to be slow and driven by old blokes with beards and pipes, so you can give quite a few people a surprise .

What about one of the Volvo S60 turbos? Not sure if a T5 would be in the price range or not?

 

The car will be a company car.
I need it because it might be possible that in between next year someone calls me "daddy"....
I´ve searched for a car with big space,looking good and having enough power.
These 3 have the best look in this class.
Latest in November I need a new car,and with test driving, ordering and so one...I think it´s better to go for it earlier than too late.

Prices are quite good in Germany.
The Saab around 38K€
The Subaru even.
The Pug is 32k€
(An Audi A4(!) is about 45k€!!!As the BMW 3 Series)

Thank you so far...Alex

 

go for a 5 series

 

Have you ever driven a 607? I unfortunately have and it is the most detatched driving experience ever. It really does handle like a barge - be warned!

 

O.k. the Pug is out!!!
5-Series??? NO WAY! My father changed time ago from E320 to a 5.... I hated it! Oversteering in a no-fun way, slow, too loud for it´s class, interior is boring as exterior... (My father has changed back es early as he could, he gave the BMW away 3 months earlier than planned and wanted me to give him my GL[little tuned] for this time!!! Any questions?)

Ah, the Volvo: I´ve got a V40. Nice car. But less space. And the V70 is not as beauty as the 850 was...

 

Just get a divorcce m8, then you ditch the wife, the rug-rat and get to keep the Scoob!
TA-DA!

 

The Scoob will stay here. It´s then mostly driven by here. I can´t sell it because it´s a competion car (not on track...) and I can´t do this again on a new car.

 

people seem to like the pug then

 

The pug is french - say no more

 

Don't laugh!
Have you considered an ST220?

I bought an ST220 estate in Germany about 6 months ago, absolutely full spec, new price was 38,5k and I paid 29k, 6 months old with 12k kms on the clock. 230 bhp, recaro leather, Satnav bla bla bla, 3ltr V6 that sounds the dogs nads, I love it! Still has'nt fallen to bits yet either

 

29K Euros? if so = £19k

oh dear - you can buy the ST220 in the uk for £17,767 brand new from factory


Saloon not estate though

 

Thanks WWSD, wanders off to find a bridge!

 

Sorry !!

 

The thing that I don't understand is that the list on mine was 38,5k = 24k pounds. I thought you guys get ripped off in the UK?

 

RRP for ST220 saloon is £23,290 from ford dealer here IIRC so yes correct price.

What most mugs don't know is that you can buy at near fleet prices even as a private buyer. Also that price I stated includes delivery and metallic paint

 

I think you know that this is a "german" car. So there are lots of them driving here. I DON`T like driving what others do... sounds quite stupid, I know.
And the "look-factor" 9-5 against the Mondeo isn´t any question I think.
