What car should I get?

Bugger

After driving Will Gills P1 at the weekend the Clio seems so tame

Yes anything is going to feel tame apart from a proper supercar but I feel I need something new.

Currently I think an S3 with a Revo tune would get my blood pumping, yes its a SEAT but it has an certain image, I'm getting a bit older now and I don't think I would feel comfortable in an imprezza day to day. It also needs to get me from Kent to Pembroke every now and again without drinking 2 tanks of petrol.

I don't like BMWs and I won't be buying one, yes it might be the sensible choice but I just can't do it, Aitch doesn't like them either so they're out.

So sub 7secs 0-60, faster the better, 4 seats with room in the back to actually put passengers in and classy.

Can we think of anything apart from the S3? Budget is about £15 and around 3 years old with less than 40,000 would be cool but if is still feels tight I would consider older and more miles.

S3 + Revo is a good combination. I went to Revo with my car a few years back, and was very pleased with how things worked out.

My next car is pretty much decided upon, there is just the small matter of finding the cash for it.

Hmmmm not overly happy with the image, I'd like something which has a bit of class now, nothing wrong with them nice car but a few too many of them around and owned by boy racers with cash.

Not really sure on motors in this price range, but that one was the only one which came to mind.

Never been a big fan of Golfs although that car is pretty amazing. The RX8 is an interesting suggestion I might have alook at those although I doubt they hold their value as well as the Audi

Audi holds between 58% and 61% of it's value after 3 years
RX8 holds 61% of it's value after 3 years

Thats for the V6 Quattro A3's and the book I've got next to me doesn't have the S3 in it *eh??*
