What would you buy?

[Scott]

If you had £8-10k at the moment and were looking for a new car to replace your 306, what would you buy and why?

[Jonny81191]

New parts for my 306. No seriously.

[4WayDiablo]

A fairly decent 6 or something then spunk the rest on a bloody decent holiday

[Ed Doe]

M3

Depends what you're looking for in a car though man.... I there are a load of decent cars for the money...

[Mattcheese31]

spend it all on beer and hookers and continue to enjoy my awesome SVO DT MPG's . . . . . . .

[Anton]

All my friends and family tell me to buy a new car.

I earn okay money, about 35k, but there is no car that i could get for under 10k that drives as well, and is as cheap to run as my daily.

you have just gone wayyyy down in my opinion!

DS3, RCZ, Kia ceed 4 tech hatch (no seriously, i love mine!), RX8 or a weeks bus pass. Oh and a vectra of course....... /JJ

[Ed Doe]

It was a joke Niall! There are quite a few cars I'd be having before an m3!

[Dum-Dum]

Mazda 6 MPS

[Niall]

Mazda 6 MPS

Oh actually that is a very good shout! Very nice car for the money!

[Jake]

So.so.so much to choose from.

Mitsubishi evo, either a mint 5/6 or a average 8/9

Or a properly well looked after skyline or supra.

But I would get killed on insurance...


......so I bought a golf.

[devils_fuel]

So you selling your share in edd's car then Scott

#troll

I would be boring and get either an Audi a4 tdi or 3series 330derv

[Niall]

Good point Devils_fuel! Is this a sign of things to come? Scott is getting bored of the 306 so will be spending 8k on a 3 series with x5 alloys?

[devils_fuel]

You know the drill then Niall...

He won't talk to anyone, spank club funds on cars and the only posts would be pics of his new ride

[Jukie88]

S15 spec R or a mint vw beetle old skool win !!!!

[Pete]

VW Caddy work bus and a 205/309 GTI weekend toy.

[WiNgNuTz]

So is this the next thing that forum donations are going towards then Scott?

In all seriousness, (i know i'm gonna get slated for this) i'd get myself a mint example of a classic shape Impreza, maybe even a p1. Wanted one since i was a small boy, seeing Colin McRae thrashing one round numerous different WRC stages.

[Ruan]

Megane F1 R26

[devils_fuel]

Ha ha rowells..just in budget

[Ed Doe]

I'm 1000% getting slated for this.

Megane F1 R26

Completely agree.

To elaborate, imo, IF you're looking for something a bit more grown up, more economical, newer and with relatively low miles, that also handles in a similar way to a 306 (lets be honest that's a significant factor in why we all have these cars), with a nice tunable engine that will have a good second hand resale value in a few years' time, it's a VERY attractive choice.

As I said before, depends entirely what you want from the new car.

[Scott]

The megane r26 is one of the cars on my lost for that price range, along with the ds3, mazda 3 mps, and the e46 m3.
