I'm getting a bit bored of the Cos and S2 and am seriously thinking of chopping them both in and buying 2 new cars or 2 that are only a year old with low mileage (newer cars are a lot less hastle).

I'm not sure i really like anything out there at the moment though.

I like the idea of a Civic Type R as i've heard they are really reliable, but i recon they are a bit ugly and maybe a new Fiesta ST or Fiesta Zetec S as a daily car.

only thing is how much could i really expect for my cossie (if anyone would buy a spaceship ) i know it won't be much as they seem to go for peanuts now a days.

what new cars do you like if you had say £25k to buy 2 with.

 

Hmmmmm

Think i'd go for a ST170, possibly an estate? and a Golf TDi

 

Ive seen a few ofthem clio sports lately, look well in blue with black rims dunnowhat they go like, and a renault at the end of the day Fezzy ST looks nice. not many new cars I like really

 

Scooby, go for it

 

adam....not a fan of the clio, my cousin has one, drove it but it didn't feel all that. ST was much nicer.

all new cars for sensible money look crap

want something thats quick but reliable and practical

Paul

 

what with pistons made by cadburys

want something reliable

 

i bought one as a daily driver 18 months ago. No problems yet although timing belt was fun to change. would have bought a Ford if there was one.

 

I went for a test drive in a new ST, and it was flat as a fart

 

bmw

 

deffo a golf gttdi diesel mate, nice cars and not slow either !!!!

as for thunder bird 3, why not break it and sell for spares, its the time of year where peeps are buying and ya will get more for ya cash too

 

scoobys are well strong and reliable now really, 350 odd bhp on std internals is quite common...

 

Myself and a Moonstone 3 door obliterated a CTR the other week so I wouldn't buy one of them

 

but he never said he wanted a cossie beating car,just something thats quick

 

and a golf deisel is quick and does over 45 to the gallon

 

WOW i never realised my ST170 would beat a CTR

 

I lurv the Type Rs, esp after I got beat by a mate in one...BITCH

She said it does quite well on petrol, she gets more to the gallon than me in my cossie, nice ride too (the car not the girl!!!)

 

Bmw E46 330ci convertable very very nice car

Or a older m3 if your lucky...

 

Im with Joe, my Cossie is gonna be up for sale shortly,after fallinin love with the E46's BMW's!!

Beemers ooze quality IMO. Also ooze dick head , but im one of them too!!

 

Exactly, they are so much better then a ford, through and through without arguement.

 

Pops: idealy i'd like a Noble but my bank manager told me to fcuk off

b19bal: not bad i guess, but a bit common.

All those who suggested BMW's, soz but they are my most hated car. will never own any bmw.

Kim: my Kim really wants a type R, long as they are reliable she can have what she wants, i just can't decide what i want lol

Evo 6? they are cheap with cossie type power.

I'd like a Focus Cosworth but doubt they will ever make on

 

you need to "learn" how to drive an ST to get the best out of it,I know of one guy ,with a few mods has managed,quite easily to get just under 200bhp from his ST focus and can manage a 0-60 of 6.5 seconds,

As i said you need to learn how to drive them right to get the best from them,

I have one and they arnt that bad,i just miss the kick in the back side from the turbo charged cars

 

Do you really need 2 cars? why not get just 1?? E46 M3's are getting around the 25k mark now. Proper cars

 

if i was staying in this country i would be looking at different cars now ( toys )
would be an evo 5/6 ,m3 and even been looking at the scooby's

 

To make a sweeping statement like that you must have never had the 'pleasure' of driving an e46 m3....Seriously i dont know of anyone who would rather drive a saph cos then an M3....

Madness, and you would consider a ctr....

 

theres proberly not many car porkie aint driven joe

 

I was talking about pgtips and the fact that he was considering a ctr and then said he would never own a bmw.....

I know porkie has been around...

 

ST170 Focus

What about a 206 hdi for a daily car, There nice and reliable, do 45mpg easily, with a re map they usally make 120bhp and are fast enough for daily use, you can get a standard nice 02 reg ish on under 30,000 miles for about 6-7k

 

how did that happen

 

How about one of these?
Can be had for around 20k and come with lots of toys

Skoda Fabia vRS quick remap 180ish bhp 300 ftLB torque 45 mpg on a run, i know the badge is wrong but all VAG under the skin

PaulT

 

180bhp and 300lbsft

Sounds like a diesel, or has a weird power curve

Mark

 

just latley i've been getting into the honda integra, 'power enginnering' normally have a couple of fresh imports there (they get them ready for UK specs for the guy who imports them) imo they look much better than a civic type r, & the trim is awesome, really well laid out with cloth & alancantara recaro's. problem is, there not the best thing when you have 2 kids!!
i think next year i will sell the saff & 3 door, not sure about the FRST, then buy an escort cossie & a 1.8 or 2.0 focus as a runaround.

 

tis a 1.9 diesel

a mate has one and it is a cracking little car, goes really well in gear and pulls like a train

i wouldnt describe it as fast

but it does do 40 mpg, when you thrash it

 

Thought they were 1.5 diesels?? Ive been in one with 240bhp from our local skoda dealer!! Had Nos!!

 

sorry joe just dont like BMW's

how bout a golf R32?

could also fit a FT400 kit from here....http://www.hpamotorsports.com/products.htm
