Which Car Will You Have Next?

[BenJeffrey]

Been thinking recently, what car would you choose after the Golf's?

Recently been looking at the 118D coupe's (Would have had 120 or 123 but insurance kills them as options)

What is everyone else thinking of getting?

I'm thinking my midlife crisis will soon be upon me so I'm already looking at various Porsches!

one of these (or loads of these, rather):



moving to the capital in September to go back to uni at the ripe old age of 25

Good luck mate! 

And if only you could insure Porsche's if I was 19... (in a year) I'm sure their is a reason why you can't...

I would have 135i next! It will be on the market from november this year so in 4 years time once my gti is 8 years I might be looking at a change!

The reason for that is road tax is extremely high in Ireland for high power cars and as this new model fall under 190 co2 it is 670 euros, whereas the old model would be 1600 euros. This is road tax only excluding insurance! I looked at m3 but it would be 2500 k road tax only! LOL

This rules out plenty of cars for me due to this environmental friendly approach over here - read rip off!

I went out to Bangor to see one of my Dad's sales reps, he cruises around in an M3. It was around the time I started driving and he told me of the Irish car tax, I dont think I could live with the rates over there...

Looking at Porsche too - just trying to find the right "one"!

[Kregiel]

you're damned right, that's why I am very picky regarding cars as I have to balance handling, power, looks, practicality and the fecking road tax as well!

Insurance is low on the up side but it's due to my age and no claim bonus more then anything

Will stick with what I know, will be either Golf R, Audi S3 or Audi RS3 (RS3 depends on money)

I need a diesel for the miles, doing about 100 a day and since I live in North Yorkshire, the road's aren't great but I do like the diesel grunt.
Remapped 123D's have such gains and 0-60 times are immense for the car, although the twin turbo does help it  
The 118D 140 is a similar speed to the VW/Audi 2.0 140 engine, probably not much difference with them at the base.

What Porsche's are you all looking at? I've done a 400 mile round trip in a 911 Turbo and that was just next level, amazed by it.

I'd probably still take the S3 over the RS3, i'm not sure why because I love the RS cars. But on the A3 and only in the sportback, I don't think it looks right, although i'm sure its an unreal speed!

These are under rated.

Under-rated but still french 

[andrewparker]

I would love a Golf R, but it will probably be a barge, maybe an F10 535d.

[Kregiel]

French or German who cares? The reliability is similar based on my experience!

It would probley be a Golf R for me too.. or S3.

Theres nothing else out there that does it for me really
