VAG blinkers off......what would you buy?

Thinking of selling up and buying something totally different for a change.

What daily car would you buy for 8K?

 

Have to be a scooby , bit pricey to run but loads and loads of fun. Bye your self a new moter plus a VW project. If only life was that aye??????

 

you've already had some quick cars, so i guess speed aint the option, i'd go for 2 wheels and get a ex superstock R1 for about 6k

 

the scoobs ive driven bored the crap out of me, too easy to drive, too simple. mr bean could get into one of those and extract 9 10th of its potential.

 

Have you ever driven one in anger , you just feel so part of them , your right though very very flettering to the ego?. What would you have then??

 

I said daily....

 

Honda integra, one of the best out of the box cars i have driven (for the money).

 

Never driven one. What about a Civic type R they have a big grin factor?

 

I recently went on the hunt for a Accord Type R - they are immensely hard to find if you have a reasonable strict criteria [i.e lowish miles, 1 owner FSH, mint and reasonable value] although I do know of a 2002 (i think) in Yorkshire - has A/C is mint 1-2 owners. A very rare and practical car.

My local Honda dealers thought a lot of them and indeed the DC2 integra - the Civic and those that follow are i-vtec which isn't as raw as the ATR and the ITR!

Sadly I gave up and bought a Jetta 16v - although I think I will try and buy another this winter.......

 

DAILY!!!!

no "HOT" cars, they are all slow compared to bikes.

 

You may know this , did VW ever doa one off run of jettas that had wide strip down side and had a bigger spec??

 

What do you want? , some thing to puddle around in? , some thing fast ish? , some thing cheap to run?

 

Sorry , that should of been poodle. Brain and fingers not working well together tonight

 

What are the fuel consumption requirements?

 

whats the remit, you say you don't want HOT, but i would want something at least a little interesting to drive....

you could drive a mondeo or a vectra and in a months time hate it, or you'll love it and nover come back to vw again

 

diesel beemer

 

I'd go for a BMW of some sort or maybe a volvo.

 

Mondeo ST of some kind?

 

they're not capable of thinking in 'unhot' car terms - prob think its not cool

personally, id spend 8k on a Saab or poss a Toyota.

 

Nice petrol car with a bit of punch... S4 ?

Or two fingers up to the govenment... TDi Passat/A4/A6 or 330d BMW.. you use less fuel, they get less tax.
