What car next?
« on: January 05, 2012, 12:29:51 pm »
Well the time has come, my 911 is up for sale, its been a great year of ownership, and if you ever get the chance do it, I shall be returning some point to Porsche ownership..........  My wife's Golf Edition 30 is also up for sale, and also our Golf  GT140!  I have decided to wind a bit more money off my mortgage and run one car!

I am in the lucky position that if I ever need something bigger I just borrow it off my rental department, so the car I buy is mainly for my wife for the school run, and running about in at the weekend.  Mileage is relatively low, so mpg isnt too much of an issue, within reason, we love hatchbacks, auotmatic/dsg, 5 door and 4wd would be nice - you can see where this is going..........

My options are;

Golf R
Audi S3 Sportback
Audi RS3 - worried about residuals on these????
BMW1M .............not enough seats for the weekend, its a manual, but it is an awesome drive!

What do you think!

Is the RS3 worth £10 - £12k over a Golf R or S3?

Well let's face it, it won't depreciate anything like a modern car - it's a classic. I'd bet money you could run one for a year and sell it on for what you bought it for.

Has to be RS3 or S3 sportback as you said want hatchback with 4WD - Golf R looks better than S3 but has a smaller boot by about 27 litres!
