WOW

you had a very nice car :-)


Have you thought about a Nissan Primera GT, I know they are not new cars, but in basic form push out 150bhp stock, (can be turbo'd), and are very reliable family cars..

i can only dream of a RS4.. infact i can only dream of 26k!!

im one of the poor scooby owners, only have my classic as funds for a new car. TBH, im looking at getting a focus for a year maybe 2, save up some moneys and get another scoob, evo, liner or somthing. Can get a resonable Focus for 2.5 3k. Having kids and being so near to xmas i got to think sensable. As shocking as it sounds, i would swap my scoob for a nicley spec`d Focus atm.

Saab 9-3? Ive drove alot theyre cheap roomy and quiet fun with the torque steer plus youve got choice of
diesels and petrol all quiet quick and comfy not to mention loads of buttons to press. Ive given
two imprezas up in the past and not liked it although the saab satisfied my needs till i went totally mad and chopped it in for a saxo for the gf
