time for the STI PPP to go, but im buggered if i know what to replace it with.

need to reduced my running costs to fund new house purchase. so ideas would be appreciated. i currenlty thinking around the 16k mark and cutting my insurance in half.

to give you an idea, ive been considering new focus st (import) or maybe a 04 alfa 147 gta. both insurance are about 650 opposed to the 1100 of my scoob.

cheers.

Audi S4. Still AWD still big power, but has comfort.

Would an S4 be cheaper to run?

You could get a year old Octavia Vrs, maybe newer even. Not as fast as an S4 or Sti, but brisk ish.

For £16.5k you can get a uk sourced brand new Focus ST3.

s4 would be nice, but i'd really want sommit less that 3 year old, and in s4 terms youre talkin 20k plus...

i dont need breakneck speed to be honest, but i need sommit that will move when provoked.

my ideas were:
new golf gti
new astra vxr
new focus st
04 147 gta
03 s3
05 civic type r
05 clio trophy

but going from a sti ppp, dunno if i could put up with n/a type r or trophy...

and i think im too much of a badge snob for a vrs, although a test drive may put me straight...

thats would be probably the best choice, IF i could pick it up next week. which we know is not possible.
