What car will you be buying next?

[mattyg]

Either an A5 or an older RS6.

Either an A5 or an older RS6.

Make sure you get a good warranty. Iirc the last RS6 is the most expensive car warranty direct have had on their books for repair costs

 

[mattyg]

I can imagine haha

 

[maggi200]

It's the reason they're so cheap. Well, until it needs £20k worths work which I've read isn't uncommon. Could be bias though of course, I read it on a forum, but I am also (obviously) aware that cheap cars that were expensive will always have the running costs of an expensive car. I'm sure you're well read up though!

i have been looking at MY02 subaru forester's recently as a 'get stuff done' sort of car for transporting bits and bobs around and for going back and forth through the highlands in winter but i'm struggling to convince myself that it's worthwhile to have a car that i'd only use occasionally and at the peak of winter

Yeah apparently gearboxes suspension and constant leaks from looking at the owners forums all stories of over £5000 at least spent on them

 

[J106GTI]

Probably a GT86 or BRZ in 10 years or so when they are silly cheap. Buying new is a mugs game unless you are rich

 

[user 980]

No it's not a mugs game at all. Buying new is excellent for some people. The car I had before the twingo was brand new and I'd certainly not think twice in the future for a brand new car. Although I admit it isn't worth it if you don't plan on keeping it for any decent amount of time

I may go for the Fiesta ST 1.6 Turbo

Do it lol!

How's the new car going?

The car's great

 

[dw118]

New clio, 1.6 turbo lux, cup pack white/yellow and will be the car I own for a long time, more practical then the twingo.

I didn't think I would be looking (and tbh I'm not) but I do like the look of the new 2 series. Strange how a smaller boot and slimmer headlamps have made an ugly duckling look like a swan

Yes. For me it was just the headlamps on the 1 series coupe. Mrs Araf had a 5 door when they first came out. I hated the headlamps, but it was the driving position that really killed it for me.

 

[maggi200]

I'm waiting on a 2 series gran coupe, if they'll do one. I'm not a BMW fan but i really quite like the look of the car, nicely proportioned, compared to the 3 series which itself is now the size of a boat

I was talking about this at Renault, the other day. The Twingo is really the Clio etc...

Everything is getting bigger, and IMHO not for the good.

However, I was impressed with the 0.9 turbo in the new Clio. Maybe even a dinosaur like me should look at these new small capacity turbo cars....

There's no replacement for displacement.

Small engined turbo cars are abit dull in my opinion.

displacement is D=π/4 (B)2 x S x N. introduce a higher compression onto the swept volume, therefore there is a replacement for displacement. it is called engineering and forced induction sir

It's all subjective. I find my Wind dull and that's not a turbo. It serves a purpose, as would a 0.9 litre turbo.

Its a saying, as I said I prefer N/A instead of forced induction.

 

[funky_d]

Are you thinking of another twingo? Something faster? another renault or something totally different?

Myself I'd love to be able to afford a seat ibiza cupra 1.4 TSI 180

Or maybe an RX8 and a run about car.

It's funny you say that, I have a new Ibiza Cupra on order as we speak in red.

2 and a half weeks to go.... (Not that I'm counting or anything)

 

[sam666]

going to look at a 106 rallye friday
