Default What car next for people?

Just throwing it out there for people to share views on what they would like/want for their next car? I was looking at the vxr8 very closely, has anybody have any experience of these cars? Post away

Good question and one I personally don't know the answer to for myself.

Was about to trade the hatch Sti in and get new RS or M3 but having taken both out a spin they didn't do it for me at all, so spent a fortune doing the hatch up.

Would like a Nissan GTR, will end up with a Nissan Micra!!!


Seriously though, Been looking at some cars that could tempt me away from subaru/Mitsi Evo's, Found that Audi RS4 have come down in price and are looking quite tempting, looked into them, until I found that the Tax is £400+ a year!!! Cant justify paying that, shame really!! Looks like ill end up with another scoob or Evo pre 2006!!!

You didnt like the New Focus RS!!! Been in a 420bhp RS and thought it was amazing, Looks good, goes well, and sounds brilliant!!! Id have one in a heart beat. Have been keeping a eye on these as well!!!

the thing is.............yes subarus etc can be expensive but there is that many breakers about and specialists that you can be back on the road sharpish. i can imagine a rs4 being hugely expensive for parts and as they are not that old parts would have to come from a main stealer

Yeah I find myself in that dilemma. Have wanted the vxr8 for along time now esp the Bathurst edition bit out of my price range though Just a bit worried about the rear wheel drive bit. However don't drive very much and have a shogun for the snow if needed so may look into it next year poss, its just that I have already gone away from scoobys b4 and then come back

I'll be staying Jap for some time I'd say, always fancied an R34GTR or a Supra Turbo since I was a young lad..

Second hand GTR's are an option too, albeit with a bit of saving up!

I like the hands on so a kit car for me, the Robin Hood Zero seems like a good option at the moment, based on the MX-5 and I reckon it could be built and on the road for under £5k
