Are you wanting a sports car/roadster type vehicle for the looks/image or performance and driving fun?

You can pick these up for circa 11k now.

Good wifey car and also a great summer drive car & 4 wheel drive - perfect  :laugh:



That's a great call. A car for all seasons, and if only doing 3000 miles a year, fuel consumption doesn't come into it. 4.2 V8 S4. That would be my choice. I'd get one now if I didn't do my mileage.

Gone but not forgotten : mk2 Golf GTI 16v, mk4 Golf V6 4Motion, mk5 GTI Storm Developments Stage 1, mk5 GTI Revo Stage 1, BMW 330ci, Skoda Octavia VRS Revo Stage 2, BMW Z4 Sdrive35i.

This caught my eye

I wonder why?  :grin:

Check out the Z4 as a marginally more affordable/economical alternative, although it won't have the power of the S4 even with the 3.0si.
However, can't fault the S4 Quattro as the answer to your original post really IMO, all things considered  :happy2:

Haha, not concerned about the road tax anymore?

Personally I'd go for the 2.0T, the V6 has a pretty poor rep.

personally id prefer a 2.0T coupe, but as my wife has told me, its her car and she will be driving it more.(and paying for the road tax) and yes i am just a weak man who does what he is told.
anything directly that it has a poor rep on?

Handling in comparison to the 2.0T, and obviously thirst.

Is it MK1 or MK2?

MK2 she had a MK1 225 coupe and loved it, this time she fancied a roadster.
