in title,

you got 10k max to spend.

it has to be a everyday car (reliable)

but you want a fast car pref with turbo.


what would you buy?????????

 

Fuck the turbo and get an E46 M3. Fast, reliable and you can turn up anywhere without feeling council.

 

For everyday a Focus RS, possibly an ST but im a sucker for the RS's

 

I would say focus Rs to or a nice 330d

 

must admit, lovely car. and fast

 

STI Subaru imo....or Evo 6........

 

evo

 

can you get an RS4 for Ł10k?

EDIT: nope.

 

Evo 6 or Focus RS.

 

can get newer than a 6 for that cash!

 

i didnt realise the evo 6 was under 10k. love that car. shall i sell the s2 and get one mmmmmm

 

M5 or a 530d

 

wel under 10k!

and thats a simple answer

yes

LOL

 

evo

 

my choice would be

Evo 8 or E46 M3

 

i suppose it depends what you are looking for. 1999ish is the evo 6, am i right?

like goup 20 though. slightly different to my s2 group 14 lol

 

ricky u can pick 1999 evos 6's from 5.5k...

 

but in all fairness, the condition aint gna be great.

i know fuckall about evo's, but to me thats like for example a ESCORT RS TURBO. 2k or under will be ok BUT PROB BATTERED, 3K + YOU ARE LOOKING AT HALF DESCENT MAYBE MINT?????????

 

i sold a mint 1998 evo 5 for 6k a month or two back fully serviced mot'd cusco and hks bits all over it etc. theyre out there mate. yeh theres a few dogs tooo but a bargain can be had!

 

you said what you were looking for LOL - reliable, fast, turbo

yes group 20 insurance, but slightly better in every single aspect than any s2 though

also 20mpg at best every day use lol but as ive said for many years - if you want fuel economy go buy a micra lol

 

Was in the same boat a couple of months ago and bought a late 54 plate Nissan 350Z GT (UK one), good mileage, fully specced, reliable, good on juice, looks the nuts, all for that money!! Only downer is its a 2 seater!!

 

Mondeo ST220.

 

Focus st mate good peformance and relability and there not too old either

 

530d

 

My only concern with the evo6 would be fixing it LOL. I reckon everything would be so hard to do. I bet every part is well expensive to. I don't know anything about evo's tbh but that's what I could imagine. Any1 owned a evo6 on here that could answer them questions

 

nothing hard on them not sure about parts though

 

Haven't had an Evo but my neighbour who's also a close friend ran one for about 2-3 years and only ever had a knackered actuator. Was running cat-back, decat, HKS induction and HKS SSQV and Apexi Turbo Timer. Was very reliable.

 

I have a focus RS i bought for everyday and its the bollocks. It looks good, sounds good, it's fast, awesome to drive, easy in traffic. Returns 22-25 mpg and just did a bit more on a mixed motorway run and town driving. It's comfortable on the daily journeies yet if you go for a weekend blast say its fantastic out on a B road

 

E39 M5

 

focus rs, totally mint standard saff 4x4, or a standard high-ish mileage small turbo escos.......... prob go with the focus rs out of the three for "reliable" everyday running though, being a bit more modern

 

10k for an e46 m3 will be super mileage and a ropey car.

there not 10k cars yet.

 

330d

 

For 10k, I'd be all over a Focus RS if you wanted something thats a laugh to take out for a blast without costing a lot on the daily punt, which IMO, an Evo or Impreza will do when pottering around town or back and forth to work... if I wanted something a wee bit more grown up then something like an E39 M5, 350z, Audi S4, Audi S3, 330i Coupe, etc

Not all the time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUkU5WlrkQ

The e36 m3 is nice. Anyone ever owned one. I get mixed opions about it. Some people say they are not that fast. I don't mean top end. I mean on acceleration

 

From what I heard their gearbox ratios are really long so they don't fly through the gears...

 

Focus ST?

WHy have cotton when you can have silk?(FRS)?

might be a stupid question,

but a question for those focus rs owners.

in a escort rs, fez rs and cossie etc we all do the usuall little things to it, exhaust, intercooler, cam etc etc etc.

what is the common little things you would do with your focus rs. not too extreme.

hope this makes sense>>>>
