life after mk5, have 6k what to get
« on: August 16, 2010, 04:15:27 pm »
Sadly, i need to start saving and mate if mine is buying my stage1 gti
well stealing it really at that price,anyway

Loved the huge torque handling image etc but need to move in,i have 6k ish for nxt toy,have company car for boring stuff so not doing mega miles but cant justify wrx style mpg even though ilove them.  So what to get?
S2000,  hmmm I'm 6-2 and it rains a lot up here,
Bmw 330 sport? High running costs looks like a 318 sport
Ep3 type r? Bit chavy and no torque?
I'm 27 btw so would prefer 3door or sporty ish

Will get another gti in couple of years love them but what should i get?

If you have a company car have you considered a motorbike if its just a for fun kinda thing?
Or some kind of track toy?

Ha motorbikes a def no,company car is branded and generally totally uncool,drive at night and wknds so still needs to be respectible for the girls fun to drive and not a money pit,would love a boxster but false economy. At 6-7grand.
was thinking maybe even a 225 tt mk1,or cooper s,but image of both is slightly suspect lol.

I'm looking for something similar actually, wont buy a Reno again after a nighmare of an experience with a Clio the wife had.  Looking at a Cooper S I think, fun car for a few months.
