What do you fancy for your next new car?
Yep. Reached that age. Really fancy a Skoda Superb 280 :D
Think its a real nice looking car. ok I'm Skoda biased but nothing else floats my boat at the moment. some right drudgery out there. mercedes in particular look utterly rubbish just lately. What's your next car ? |
I used to change cars every 8-12 months or so on average when I had imprezas, however, since I bought my 1.0 ecoboost fiesta, I genuinely cannot see me getting anything else for the foreseeable future, I really do think it's that good a car.
|
c63 amg coupe i think, would love a black edition but dont think funds would run to that haha
|
I'd love an eco boost fiesta
|
Fancy a Golf MK2 GTD, 5 doors and air con, which I think they have standard would be nice, but beggars can't be choosers, nice GTI came up the other day but don't fancy the fuel bills... like my 60 to the gallon too much.
Not sure what you're on about with the Mercs, I think they have the best looking cars at the moment, AMG GLE coupe in black looks stunning, could be tempted if I had the money... but then I've always liked Mercs... best 'fancy' car if you ask me... knock the spots off a Superb that's for sure. |
There's so many other cars I'd love to have, but I'm going to try and keep the Evo for as long as possible. I'm still trying to sell the bug sti and the missus has the WRX wagon so there's always going to be a scoob in our lives.
M3 E46, E92, C63, RS6 to name but a few. I've also got a hankering for older cars, Mk1, Mk2 Golf's etc. |
Range Rover sport hse up to 45 year old if I ever sell scoob or straight on to one of the below till I go 6ft under but won't be buying another scoob I don't think
Skyline gtr Amg 6.3 merc in white 4 door |
C63
Rs4 E92 m3 Golf r Focus rs 135i Rs3 I'm always looking about at the above and most can be got at decent prices now. |
I can't think of a single BMW, Mercedes or Audi that actually that I genuinely desire. AMGs are nice but as I've have a C63 wagon it doesn't count.
If money were no object I'd love a Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo or Macan turbo as my everyday car...but way out of budget. One things for sure, whatever car I replace the wagon with it won't have keyless go:lol1::lol1: |

id have same again xsara vts
and a comfy van for everthing else |
Now the RS3 Saloon is available to order, I'm considering buying one. But the Auto gearbox, and the old platform is putting me off. Mostly the auto gearbox.
Other than that, there is absolutely nothing (other than a run-around) that I actually `Want` to buy. Nothing exciting for sensible money out there. And everything decent is either silly money, or comes as Auto only. |
AMG a45 without a doubt. Absolute weapon.

I test drove the brand new S4 and though it was beautifully put together and it went around corners well (it had the sports diff) the steering feel was without doubt the worst I have ever encountered on any car. If the RS3 has similar steering feel then that on its own is enough of a reason not to buy one. |

If the RS3 has similar steering feel then that on its own is enough of a reason not to buy one. To be fair, it might have had the dynamic steering fitted too. Most magazines say it's rubbish. While not exactly buzzing with feedback, my S3's steering isn't too bad. Or maybe I'm just used to it. You do have to have it in it's sports setting though. I think the problem with all modern cars these days are all the steering have got electronic, the gearboxes have (or are going) automatic, and far too many features that take driving the car away from the driver. I can see me keeping the S3 for a few years, as everything else just bores me. Or maybe go back to hot hatches. |
It's funny. Bought a classic mini a while back. I loved having no power steering....bloody ace fun
|
When I eventually sell the Spec C I will get an R32 GTR and keep that forever.
Lots of fun in the Spec C to have first! |
Dream Cars just out of reach
RS6 C63S Realistic cars I'm looking at M4/M3 with Comp Packs 540I Xdrive. or i might just save cash and buy a fiat 500 Abarth |
The new Honda civic Type R if were talking new cars.
But i've been thinking about a Focus st for daily driver. |
C63, E63, M5, RS3, RS4, RS6, Porsche of some sort.
When I finally shake this Subaru thing. It's a really difficult one as I moved from Impreza to FSTI and it's just such a great package. Now it's modified it goes like a stabbed rat yet it's amazingly practical too. Honestly not sure what would replace it currently. |
Don't fancy a new car. Overpriced to buy compared with cheap finance which keeps nominal prices high. Too much electric power steering and suspension that is neither comfortable or roll resistant. Too many small engines with ECUs locked down for tuning or turbos that peak power by 4500 RPM on tuned petrol engines. Too many taxes.

R35 if i sell my collection and right bollock
M35 Stagea with R35 front end if i wanna spend £10-12k on another project car An Audi Avant diesel if I'm being sensible Curiously tho I keep looking at; Abarth 595 MTAs JUKE 1.6 DIG-T auto Litchfield |

Wishing Subaru would bring out something exciting again, but I think those days are long gone and I think the most hardcore loyal Impreza fans have moved on to other marques!!! |
I lease my cars through work and currently considering the Golf R Estate though I test drove the cheaper Leon Cupra 300 yesterday and was very impressed with the performance and perhaps more surprisingly the ride quality when in comfort mode
|
just bought my daughter a 1.2 VW Polo
to replace a Peugeot 306 (What is it about French cars and cooling!! ffs) what I really love about the little (plucky) Polo is it is pre-dented - it has a huge dent on the passenger side Drives quite well, although not as well at the Peugeot (the French do make cars that drive/ride/steer brilliantly) |
got my next car nailed down to three ,in this order
Bentley GT nissan GTR audi R8 |

And they're boring... I can't drive one for much more than a couple of hours without wanting to fall asleep... literally. |
I've bought too many new cars in the past and lost a fair bit of cash.
Having just sold my Exige, I've put a deposit on a Jaaaag F-Type R. It'll be a slightly different proposition to the Exige, I'm sure.... :) |

The PCP term on my Focus ST finishes in 3 months and I'm changing it for a Focus RS.
Luckily I have the equity in the ST to allow me to only put another 3 grand down and keep the same monthly payments :D |
