Okay then guys n gals, what do you reckon's the best car that I can get for up to £8k which is both fun, quick, and also I can use to commute 120 miles a day, so it's gotta be comfy, reliable and not too ridiculous on juice.
What do we reckon? Any pics would be good too.

 

golf GTI

 

Crikey... umm... E36 M3 and LPG?

 

Had an older 3 series BM before and it cost me a fortune in spares and insurance due to the mileage I do, so would prefer a non-BMW, although I do see your reasoning there, and it does fit the criteria.

 

not a focus st 170

 

audi s4, 8k should buy you a decent one and v6 with 2turbo's... Mmm! refiined and every extra under the sun too. Result.

 

Golf GT TDI 150PD

 

we have 1 as a work car, 212bhp, 300lb/ft
still great on fuel aswell!!

 

Why not ?

 

Mondeo 2.0 TDCI? shocked the hell out of me when I drove one. Really struggled to fault it. Excellent handling, good on long trips, good on fuel, pretty quick, cruises happily at 90, doesn't look horrible, etc etc..

 

Clio 182 Integra type r

 

Got to be the Golf TDi for that kind of mileage or an Audi

 

Go 4 the skoda fabie vrs I got 1 and they absolutely flying machines I picked mine up 4 £6500 and had it superchiped and it flyers.. Exlent on fuel and will put most cars 2 shame..


Quite sporty 2

 

E36 M3

Audi

E46 BMW 330

 

diesel merc mate bit old but cruise lovely

 

Golf GT TDI or


mondeo tdci your getting alot of car for little money

 

TOTALLY TOTALLY agree

my mate has one

air con, zenons, all the toys
very comfortable
handles like a go kart
built like a tank
parts and servicing is dead cheap

and the best bit

with a simple re-map = 190bhp and well over 300ft/lbs of torque

embarrasses gti's and on long cruising journeys can return up to 60mpg, and if you spank it to within an inch of its life it still returns over 40 mpg.

wicked car

 

so wish they did those in 3dr

 

Civic/Integra Type R

 

Volvo S60 D5 - 163bhp - easy chippable to 210bhp too, 40 plus to gallon on motorways, luxury travel, all toys etc...

 

seat leon cupra diesel

 

Audi

I find the steering on th eA4 feels a little isolated but you get used to it and can soon be lobbing it about And it carries a certain air of class about it

 

That would be my choice too

 

audi A4

 

Cue the knocking noise from the rear subframe bushes...........

 

Golf gt tdi 150...
