The I want a new car but havnt a clue what thread

[bravheart]

Got a 2005 2.7petrol biturbo allroad, 120k when i bought it, paid £1500 18 months ago with 12 months MOT and recent service and not missed a beat, supposedly 250bhp but doesnt feel it as its a heavy car. If it blows up i will scrap it and find another. Downside is it does 20mpg if you go steady.

That's still just 2.5 days/gal

Suppose the starting point is how old are you as insurance could play a part?

Audi RS3

24 but insurance is threw farm

I have had 2 passat CC both dsg gearboxes 2ltr diesel versions , with out a doubt the most comfortable car I have ever driven the later one did 51mpg no problem had the earlier one 47 mpg loved them both loads of spec as standard that is unusual for a vw highly recommend you get a one with leather heated seats a dsg gearbox you will love it .

I’ve been in a passatt before and loved it I just want something that feels nice me and the girlfriend try to go away once a month so do quite a few long motorway trips aswell

For 8 mile a day you may as well get something with a V8 in it for the sound if nothing else

I’ve already done the boy racer loud exhaust stage

I’ve already done the boy racer loud exhaust stage

But a Noddy Car with a loudpipe is simply not a V8...

Still going to cost for anything over 2 litres

Morgan three wheeler? Mind, would blow your budget big time

They are a great cars it used to eat up motorway miles find one with as much spec on as you can , the second one I had was a demonstrator and had some other extras i would not have ordered but where an added benefit dark red leather seats are apparently pretty rare but they looked great , adaptive cruise control was a nice feature but without them the car was no worse .
servicing was variable and usually came up at 18k .

get one bought

Or the rarer Phaeton if you want a VW for comfort

What about a Nissan 350z. Totally impractical and frivolous. But your only 24 once.

I’m sure I read somewhere about the phaeton engine not being reliable

Audi A3 takes some beating

Decent discount in insurance premiums when you get to 25.

Fiesta ST, tidy ex PCP cars at auction were making £10k, and there seemed to be plenty to choose from. Golf GTD’s were costing about 3 to 4K more.

Nice blue bmw estate at carwhinley cars up at Carlisle, would of had it myself only that ive started putting up a shed and the funds wont allow me to change the car

Don’t want another ford I’ve driven my friends fiesta st it’s great when your ragging it about but to just sit and cruise in my Ibiza feels nicer and when my friend had ago in my seat he said it was slow but a lot nicer
