Default New Car Suggestions

Getting a bit bored with my car now, I think it is time for something new.

I am currently thinking about an St185 Celica GT-4. Anyone else got any suggestions?

Ideally after a turbo'd car now and have about £2200 to spend. Group 16 insurance is about the limit too .

Ideas please lads

Are you looking for performance or looks??

If your looking for performance buy an old Evo or Scooby - but looks and something that will keep the value then Escort RS Turbo S2 which is looked after would be a good shout.

Personally - if it was me and i was using it for a every day car then i'd get a Golf VR6 as they are reliable and have good performance, look the part and sound JUST AWESOME. a Turbo Car costing that much just would be more hassle than its worth (Sorry guys who this concerns lol)

I really want something turbo, im only going to be using it as a weekend car. The appeal to me of the Gt4 is the fact it is 4wd.

I do like the S13's, but my mate has one and he daren't take it out in the wet

I dont fancy an RST either, just not my cup of tea.

Keep em' coming lads

VR6's would be alot better on the front tyres than any RST LOL

Pulsar's r good cars as in very fast - but you ask a mechanic and he'll tell you they are a complete b*tch to work on and the turbos are so feeble
