Default LCR or S4 or ZTV8????

I've narrowed it down to:

Leon cupra R 2002/3 50k + possible remap!!
Audi S4 1999/2000 100k
MG ZT V8 2003 40K

Go on lets have your opinions on where my hard earned notes should go???

Main Pitfalls for each?
LCR= too small with teenage kids??
S4= Running Costs??
ZT=Fuel costs??

Id fancy the ZT V8 myself, with a little bit of play it will be quicker than the other two and have enough torque to pull them both thru a hedge backwards while chained to the titanic. very simple engine to play with.

My personal choice is the Audi S4, Good German build quality and very fast, what more would you want.

Also seen a Seat Leon TDI in the Auto Trader which has a remap and has 210bhp and also does 50mpg. Performance and Good fuel economy, best of both worlds.

Id say the s4. I seriously contemplated one but was scared off by the high mileage. A few folk warned about problems with the turbos but if you could get a warranty then i would go for it. Plus you can tune the nuts of them and they are torquey as hell and very well equipped.

ZTV8, its newer, quite good handling (according to various magazines) and lower mileage. Audi S4 (B5) is a bit long in the tooth now and 100k miles is high the turbo and handling is boring and numb (if my A4 1.8TQ is anything to go by), fast in a straight line and not terribly feelsome in the corners.
