Default 15K.... What car ??

I recently sold my Impreza as I got an offer I couldnt refuse, but now I have a dilemma, what do I get now ??

I understand that this BBS will probably be biased towards another Impreza, but what are the alternatives.. Its got to be fairly quick as I miss the Impreza power, but apart from that I'm open to suggestions.. ie 2 door,4 door, coupe,saloon , etc

just wanting some ideas for around 15K

thx

Audi s4 estate(avant) 2.7 twin turbo (biturbo)


Very easy to mod/ quite subtle, 4x4 practical boot, leather, aircon, good build quality.


Could park it in the street.

Apart from another Scoob (Sti5 / Sti6 TypeR for that money), a new Civic TypeR would be in that budget, a Skyline R33 or R34 GTT (there was a white one on here a while back for that money). An Evo VI or even a VII with a bit of mileage on if your lucky to see one around.

Have to consider running costs as well mind, if you do any decent mileage, the Evo's & Skylines will cost you a good bit more to maintain than the Scoobs and more than likely a decent amount more to insure.

S2000 sounds like a good idea, so does the Audi but I'm not a fan of estates..ermm I mean wagons

I hear your point about BMW drivers. But you will find that 5 series drivers are more mature. Go drive one and then make your opinion.

15k doubt you'll get a better all round car than an e36 M3 Evo.

I disagree. Never been a great lover of unnecessary scoops/bulges and bonnet vents.

Old scoobs look dated. Old BMW's don't look dated, they look what they are - quality motor. The reg plate is irrelevent.

If you look hard enough you'll find a nice E46 325 Coupe for that sort of money now
