As title..........

Or less....

I've recently got rid of the Vectra Bus and now using the Focus everyday but I'm already finding it less practical for doing ' stuff '.

Loved the Vectra it was just getting old............

So

Personal Fav is the Legacy 3.0 R Spec B Touring or the S4 Avant but the big engine and Audi tax scares me a little.

Anyone else got any food for thought.....?

(PS - Gotta be sports type - big engine or quick ish and PETROL - diesel is the fuel of satin)

290 odd bhp I think?? Either way, fast, estate, petrol.

 

There is a c36 amg estate on eBay for 8k that looks like it could be fun.

No idea what they are like as cars though!

A volvo t5/r?

Gavin.

 

.... and manual.

But also - if I am scared of Audi Tax..... Merc Tax... lol.

I do like the C32 though - which I think is what you mean - but AUTO. YUK

 

Volvo t5 estate mate

Auld

 

Vectra 3.2 gsi estate?
Passat 4motion or if you are brave a w8?

 

Agree with this man!

Lighting up in second in the dry keeps me very happy!

 

What sort of year?

I'm thinking somet 55 plate or there abouts.

 

Mondeo ST220 Estate? Cheap as chips now:

Lovely V6 burble..

 

I've always been a merc man so I'd say go for a c32 amg very nice cars and not many people have them

 

Mine is a 2000, the phase 2 one.

Ł1100. But I'm sure you can get a 55 reg onwards for a lot less than 8k.

 

If the idea of a regular T5 gets you wet... how about a V70 R, guess you'd get one for under 8k now?? c300bhp from memory and AWD too.

Fifth gear back to back them against the Legacy touring and the touring won hands down.....

dont rule out the merc c32 amg.........

i took one in p/x on an rs6 audi and was very surprised-one of the best cars i have owned.

 

Yeah, I used to sell Subaru when I was in the motor trade and that generation of Legacy is fantastic... however, regardless of tests (that's a V50 rather than V70 in your link...), I'd also consider a V70R if I was thinking about a SpecB.

The one I'm talking about has essentially the same mechanicals as the S60R as far as I remember... so the reviews should be semi-helpful.

B5 S4 avant, no question.

late 1999-2001 facelift

PROPPER build quality, genuine sleeper that goes like a stage 3 cossie but goes round corners better, and you know you can get in, turn the key and do a track day then work the next day, everything is over engineered

BMW good in theory, i agree, but....... well fuck me, drive an S4, please!

 

mgzt v8 estate, rare and a nice v8 ford engine and manual box, one in autotrader for 8k, shame about the colour, gets my vote

S4 Avant for me thanks, sold mine about a year ago but was one of the best all rounders i've had. Had a milltek fitted and it sounded awesome!!

 

Mondeo 2.5 TitX. Huge boot, great car, and all the same tuning options at the Focus ST.

VW Passat W8??

 

535d touring

 

Get the Audi you fucking pussy...................pmsl

 

MG with a factory fitted FORD v8 and manual box, so its ford, its manual, its got some grunt, and when ur bored with 260hp, bolt in a gt500 engine and u got an instant 550hp v8, sorted

 

What a bad combo, a Rover with a Ford V8!!

 

Kiss my ass tyre kicker!

 

It makes a change from a ford with a rover v8 though!

 

It might have a V8 in the rover but they look fucking shit imo get a audi
