RS4 or C4S

alanbell 29 June 2017 05:54 PM

Think Id get a Audi, (for a change) :D

IggyRB320 29 June 2017 08:13 PM

FL RS6, stage 2 tuned, with a few options is what i'll be getting next.
Unless I get tempted by a R35 GT-R again..!

Looie 30 June 2017 01:25 PM

I will probably change my current Leon FR for a Cupra 300 when my 3yrs is up - love the FR, but the 0-60 in 4.9 with 4WD is too appealing.. :)

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 hope I never get to the age where I say Skoda floats my boat :freak3: sorry

Since the R35 is going after 6 years of ownership (leave tomorrow for 1 last tour through Europe in it), the 240z and escort mk1 might actually be finished this year

:lol:

I will keep and drive the 240z and the mk1 for a little while each, but they will both be sold this year. Then I am off to Japan for a few months and travelling after that.... so don't see long term car ownership in my future....

:idea:

But if I was staying, I would be keeping 1 of the classics and looking at either a V12 Vantage or a McLaren 540C

Think you might need to look again:

Seat Leon ST Cupra 300 AWD 296bhp estate - 0-60 in 4.9s

Love mine

After the A45 im thinking possibly another one or the new RS3 or C63 Coupe

Matty81 02 July 2017 07:11 PM

Go for a 2ndd gen rs. Much nicer looking cars.

Matty81 02 July 2017 07:11 PM

A45 over an rs3 mate. Rs3's are boring to look at and not as fun.

The 6.3, or the new 4.0?

If you're talking about the 6.3 version, I'd say the saloon looks way better than the coupe.

I'd say that the estate looks even better, but then I probably don't really own one:D

urban 03 July 2017 10:14 PM

Ah ha.
I'd say the E63 is even better again :D

Well, as I've just recently got back into Scooby owenership, I'm not looking to change, however I just think most things have got very dull.


It's basically all 2.0 4 pot turbo auto in various configurations, lifeless steering, lots of dirivng 'modes' that do very little, too insulated, not enough NVH. Even the 335i I had with the MPE was dull.


I'd like more 'worse' cars to choose from :Whatever_

I'd add to all that, that they're bloody expensive and seem to have faults engineered into them so as to keep the dealer networks in a healthy sate of being.

One of my MK1 Golf diesels has 475000 km and only recently had an engine refresh... mostly due to the bloke driving it not pulling over when he had a hose let go on the cooling system... wouldn't fany the bills that go with getting a modern diesel to that sort of milage.

Oh and they're boring of course... as well as looking the same for the most part... mate of mine has just bought a new Alfa saloon... looks just like a 3 series BMW bar the badge.

That's a very good statement. Completely agree. I want something more raw and not polished to the point of losing it's excitement. That's why I've been in Subarus for 10 years now. Hard to fault how they make you feel when they are working!

Retro is the way forward. ;)

I also like working on my cars... modern cars are all electronics based, you need a computer to do an oil change otherwise you get a dashboard full of flashing lights... and all these "driver aids" bollocks to that... I want to lock my brakes up and drive the car as I see fit... not have some computer program butt in and try and take over... now that does scare me.

taylor85 06 July 2017 09:59 AM

tesla model 3 i think

BrownPantsRacing 06 July 2017 09:59 AM

That's why I've also got a 1963 VW beetle in the garage. Something to fix occasionally! Not that I get the time to do that these days with 2 young kids running around.


My every day car needs to be something modern with isofix and serviceable by local garages whilst being practical with 2 kids and all the rubbish that comes with them you need to move about. All that and fun to drive! Hence Forester STI currently. I would entertain going to a new STI saloon though.

This ^^^ Which is why I am looking at fixing my current hawk STi gearbox / getting a refurb rather than chopping it in.

Not in the same league I know but when I was driving away in the 1lt Fiesta courtesy car from Bell & Colville yesterday, it was like being in a polystyrene box, couldn't hear the engine at all, steering vague, clutch non existent, brakes no modulation (nearly went through the windscreen)

Well equipped and comfortable but could have been anything.

BrownPantsRacing 06 July 2017 10:38 AM

We're talking about RS4's, RS6's, C63's, STI's and Evo's then you go and throw the 1L Fiesta into the mix Rusti! :lol1:

haha, sorry buddy. have to say I found the same thing in the bosses Ghibli as well, really soulless, which for a Maserati is unforgivable.

StrangelyBrown 06 July 2017 11:34 AM

Currently drive a Mk7 Golf GTD as my daily which I have had for 18 months since new and covered over 25k miles. Having pretty much driven German cars for the past 15 years (well apart from a Renault Clio but less said about that, the better) I have stuck with the devil I know however I'm considering something different.


Recently bought a 2002 Forester s-Turbo to move DIY stuff round and have a bit of fun and with this being my first Japanese car I'm start to warm to the brand. I' in the process of paying off the Golf PCP so no doubt by the end of August the Golf will be up for sale - so what comes next as a daily. Not 100% sure at the moment

BrownPantsRacing 06 July 2017 11:37 AM

Have you tried the 1L Fiesta? They are supposed to be quite a machine! :thumb:

stealthbomber 06 July 2017 12:15 PM

I've developed an itch for a porsche 996/997 carrera 2/4. Must have reached that age in life. Must resist....

Due the to crazy mileage I do I have always driven a diesel, however if I can find a Petrol which returns in the region of 45Mpg+ and fun to drive I'd take it :)
