Default Don't know what car to get next...

Iv got around 6k can stretch a little more for my next car and not sure what to get. There's a wide range of cars for the budget:

Impreza (blob eye/hawk eye)
Evo 6, maybe 7?
Bmw 645 if I search hard (Gulp)
M5?
5dr focus st

It needs to be a 4dr - I really want a focus rs but her in doors changed her mind when I sold my audi yesterday

SEAT Leon mk2
VW Golf

Worth considering in that bracket

decent M5 will be hard to find, i have been looking...

645 is going to be an absolubt nightmare if you do find one.

i personally hate 5 door STs so i would go with a blob eye sti, they are out there for that money.

I think realistically it may be out the evo and Scooby. Just had a quote on a sti type UK and is 140 per month! ! Only got two months with them left so I guess I'll be able to get a cheaper quote than that!

Also seen an evo 6 touching 380 in icilis blue for 6k but it's 200 miles away and I have no car and plus it's by a dealer in Lancashire :/

As much as I love a BMW the Impreza is ticking all of your boxes it seems. Quick, 4doors and a good boot....

Is economy a contributing factor? I could throw up some belters that would leave everything you've mentioned for shit, but you'll need deep pockets for the fuel

Non-related to my above post, I'd have one of these in a heartbeat if I was in your position.

I'm not doing as much miles for work as I used to and had a 06 a4 s line tdi which was a good send. So its not a huge factor

What cars were you going to suggest?

golf edition 30..scooby or a 540 bmw which are cheeeeeeeap and still fun.. out the lot though for the most bang for your buck would probably be the scooby or a evo ..then again for 6k you could get a focus rs to..or a 530d bmw..or a volvo t5 turbo..mazda mpz ...etc

How about a 630i instead of a 645 - if you can live with only 2 doors.
Lovely looking cars, well spec'd and good road presence and not wallet busting either.

What about an older RS6 Audi?

Edit, may have to stretch a little further though!

The last two are easy to reach 300bhp too, plenty of fun then!

Late Blob STi so that its widetrack with DCCD. I got one last year and its a great car that does everything I need it to.

Also getting 25mpg on my commute at the moment too which is decent for one of these. A lot better than the Type R one I had previously, lucky to see 18mpg in that.

Go for Crystal Grey or Black to be a bit different

C5 rs6 ate stunning but their gearboxes are a very weak point. Id love one tbh they are monstrous cars I have had plenty of time with them and the newer v10 version

Sapphire cosworth: im 50 50 I'd love another I have been thinking about them

crowson15 - Dafuuuuq! ?!

Im liking the evo and blob eyes tbh

Maybe if I up the budget should I get an escos that needs tlc

Doesn't meet your 4dr need though mate. If you're swinging back to thinking about 2 doors get the Focus RS.

Fiesta 4 door - Seems like your unsure on any particular car. Either that or ants in your pants. Plenty to choose from with all the suggestions above.

You would have ants in your pants too if you came in to a position of buying a performance car after 3 odd years.
