If you had £20k, what car would you buy?
« on: April 13, 2013, 05:14:08 pm »
For me, there aren't any cars sub £15k that I'd sell my Edition 30 for. But, there are a few £20k cars I would, my list woud be:

Audi S3 (8P2 Shape) S-Tronic
Focus RS MK2
BMW 135i Coupe
Evo 8/9 (Well specced and low mileage for £15k, then use the remaining £5k for a daily and to sub high maintenance costs)
Golf R (Would be a wait until prices drop to £20k)

Audi B8 S4.  :happy2:

Stick a REVO Stage1 map and a Milltek TBE on it and you've got a 410bhp RS4 eating (well, nearly) monster.

Yeah, certainly none from your list, but an E92 M3 would be high on the list. At around £15k I'd be tempted by a Porsche Cayman S and the BMW Z4 M Coupe.

The problem with most VAG stuff is that the advancement is so slow, nothing does much to persuade me out of a MK5 which is a very accomplished car.

Some interesting options listed. Personally I like small turbo charged engines compared to V8s, I just like the surge of torque. Also, off boost, they are usually cheaper to run and maintain.

There's a following on here for the Golf R, but personally I'd choose the 8P2 S3. Better presented car with the same mechanics.

I don't know why you think it is better presented. The exterior is as dull as ditch water and the interior in the R is better. The R also drives better according to those who have driven/owned both.

It's not a Lambo engine but a derivative of said Lambo engine. The Lambo one was 5.0l and the Audi 5.2l,

20k  ! I'd probably buy have a new shape X5 3.0 diesel and a mk 2 golf GTI, either that or I'd have an audi rs4

I've had a mk2 focus rs aswell and that was a lovely car

Do what I did & buy an E39 M5, 5litre V8, 400 bhp & 370lbs/ft. Spend the other 14K on supercharging it :driver:

Although an E92 M3 saloon would be mighty tempting
