there does indeed come a time in your life, priorities change.

Just because you are getting rid of the sporty one, does not mean it can't be replaced by a more comfortable sporty one.
I mean, I wend from a Jeep Grand Cherokee to my Impreza! not long AFTER haveing the 2 kids!
Its great, I can loon about like a teenager and have some fun on my own, then stick the wife and kids in it and go on holiday

Best of both worlds for us!

What about an M3? loads of luxury, RWD, can be sensible, can also be a monster!

I thought about mentioning a M3 last night, either that or one of those sporty A3's? A 3.2 quattro should fit the bill. I can't believe that Matt hasn't been in here yet recommending the mini cooper S. Its a lot more comfy then I was expecting and you can still go fast and hurl it round corners. If its not quick enough, then a quick remap and tinkery with the SC should sort you out.

Gah the age is a killer as surely its Nissan 200sx / 300 territory? The 330D are meant to be good motors though

Yeah I was thinking of a 200sx but I know I'd just throw some money at it! :/

I don't want to fork out a huge amount of money tbh, and I don't particularly want a diesel as it doesn't suit my style really. I'm not thinking of spending much more than 7 grand (having sold the mx5). So it does limit what I can get. I don't know, I know I'll probably miss the speed and handling, but when I get hire (usually focus'es, audis, etc...) it does feel nice to be in a comfy car.

The people on ocuk are saying that I'll miss it and hanker for it within months... but I don't know. I borrow my fathers Octavia Sport for some trips and it's just "pleasant" - I don't need to be "on the edge" all the time - I feel I have to drive the 5 like a racing car ALL the time.

Meh :/ I'm confused I don't know

Matt - you better get your arse down here then!

leowyatt · 17-10-2007, 10:23

I'll see you in just over a month so you better still have it then

Don't buy a MINI, I can pull it off but you'll look like you bat for the other team

You'd need to - they aren't satisfying enough as standard.
