Hello everyone,

I want to get a scooby for my missus and as a family car.

Most probably will get a new shape STI but dont know which one to go for.

I also have a new Clio V6 which is my weekend toy and no good for the wife and kids.
Any ideas?

Nobody want to help me out then?

Hi! welcome to the forum m8. You have to be a bit patient on here for your questions to be answered. But when they are, they'll come flooding in. IMHO get yourself a late classic with a performance upgrade.

I can recommend getting a wagon, same performance but extra space.

 

cheaper to pick up too

 

New Age would probly be better for the wife, easier to drive! more comfort, and probly a wagon for the space.

 

Its got to be a new one by the way.

And 4 doors too

Hey, hows the clio. A friend of mine was a senior chassis engineer on that project.

 

Its a brilliant car as a toy,no way practical enough for everyday use.
I own my own Roofing company so im always in a van most of the time.
Use the V6 for a bit of fun when im not working.

Nice, I take it, its the later car with the much stiffer rear subframe. The first cars where put together a bit quickly, the latter cars are meant to be much better and not as snappy.

I have a 53 plate STi type UK, very nice car to drive, a good all rounder. Not as savage as my previous EVO, but with most of the pace, I would reccomend one, easy to live with (and I bet its easier to drive in the wet than the Clio
