What Car - I hate changing cars
 
Well, i am now thinking of selling my Boxster and buying another car....though which one..

I was thinking The P1, and then i noticed that EVO 6 / 7 are near the same price also the STI 8 (though allot newer)


What to do?

Fuel consumption will be a shock to you if your coming from a Boxster, my buddy has one and he gets around 30mpg from his - trust me an EVO or a Scoob will be miles worse, i woudl say get an STI and take it to TSL/WRC-Tech or similar

I know all about fuel...though must say the M3 was the most efficient on fuel when driven on long journeys)

Sorry...Past Car History:

320BHP MY98 Scooby - (Only sold afew weeks back)
M3 Evo - (Only sold afew weeks back)
Corrado G60
Currently also drive the Audi S4 on the weekends which is my brothers which gives near 15mpg...and the Boxster during the week.


Though i was looking for a car for the performance and looks really and i think the P1 looks like the Bomb though so does the Evo...

Get an Evo. You've had some nice motors there, you've already had a Scoob, go for something different. Or go for a left-field choice like a Legacy B4 RSK or a Mitsubishi Galant VR-4.

Interested to know your findings on ave mpg & tank range with the M3 on long journeys.

M3 was quite good, at a steady speed of 90MPH i drove from London to Cardif and Back to London again, which was little over 420Miles.

All in a Tank of Fuel...

Though the Boxster is only a 2.5L, and is very good in fuel to..but lacks the Turbo :cry: Though sticks to the road and when the back end does go it is easier to get back in control the the M3...


ps: car averaged around 23mpg around town and 36mpg on the motorway..well that what the computer told me anyway..

If it was me i'd go for an Evo personally and they're better on fuel than a Scooby, just about.

Thks - Excellent, sounds quite frugal ! Any idea how many miles between services ?

Dunk,

I have no idea...as i did not have the car long, and usually i do the servicing myself...


I am leaning more towards a P1, becasue i have owned a Scooby in the past and know my way around the car..

Also looking at the Autotrader i have noticed allot of traders are selling the car for near £12k / £13K, and privatly they are priced at more.
