Itchy Feet
« on: September 25, 2009, 06:40:44 pm »
Nothing wrong with my Edition 30 .... but getting itchy feet after 18 months of ownership .... max £25K but could stretch to 28K if I really liked something   :smiley:

Dabbled with the idea of a VXR8 but can't find one at the right price near me - and the Vauxhall dealer nearest me doesn't seem interested!

Choices left :

1.  Keep the Edition 30 and get a TBE / go to Stage 2  :wink:
2.  S3 with DSG in white (ex demo ... and then Revo it)
3.  Focus RS in white in a few months when a few more are about and the silly prices have gone away ... with a view to remapping via Bluefin  :laugh:
4.  Z4M Roadster (I've come from 6 years of convertibles to the Ed 30 so am used to the limitations space wise, etc).

Views welcome ....

if your dead set on selling i would rather have a s3 than a focus rs but for 25k you could also have a bmw 335i and a tuned one carnt half shift.

I've been sniffing around Caymans S's today - I don't care if people do think they're a poor man's 911, drive one!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

maybe S3 or hang on for the Golf R or Rocco, i went and had a look at the RS just to see what the fuss is about and it doesnt feel faster as standard as its quite heavy and the sales man said i should expect at-least a 4 month wait as the allocations have all gone and used models are fetching 29k not sure how true it is as i havent bothered researching but he also told me they are only making 2k for britain and a new shape focus is out next year! it was almost like he was trying to put me off! i met a white one on the road and did think it looked good but when walking around the blue one i was thinking this is gareish! as for vauxhalls! although i know thats really an aussie car but imo stick with something trustworthy like a vag  :smiley:

Porsche - Any S badged one....

Cayman S is really good, given one when mine was in for service and the current price is too good to ignore.

Still going to be a VAG at the end of the day  :signLOL:

getting a s3 will be like a step sideways, not forwards over the ed30.
