Your next car

Hopefully a Integra DC5 (if i can afford the insurance), an ST220 (as these will be ridiculously cheap when i am ready to buy), Focus ST (again, these will be stupidly cheap) or a 330i/ci (if in the next year or two i become sensible and start caring about the little things like interiors and comfort ;))
 
Ummmmm.... depends on how long I keep the Octy for but maybe one of the last ST220's to come off the production line. Not sure with fuel prices that a 3.0 V6 which isn't known for being frugal is a good idea though. No plans to change yet anyway.

Next car purchase will be for Jane and she is split between a Mini or something newer for the same money like a Suzuki Swift, Grande Punto etc.
 
Mondeo.

Seriously, I'm in that frame of mine where I'd like a larger, more comfrotable and powerful car as my next one, but of course I also need something thats fairly reliable and cheap to maintain. And Mondeos are of course, pretty cheap to buy and fit the requirement well. So for my next car I'd probs keep an eye out for a well specced Mondeo or similar.
 
DC5 Teg - Must be black!!

Probably a downgrade due to my house purchase.

Similar here. My fixed rate mortgage is due for renewal soon so I might use it as an excuse to buy a bigger/better place and just keep the one car (Golf) as I rarely get to use the Elise anyway so the money would be better off paying off some of my mortgage.
 
Well, I was thinking of replacing my Astra Daily Driver (Well...the one I use most) to an Old Mini, <95, is really nice to drive around one in Jersey.

But I guess in a few years I'm honestly considering getting the new GTR when the second hand's start rolling in.

Few years...heh, 5/6+ :)
 
If I find one I like soon it'll be a Mondeo ST220, Accord Type-S or MG ZT.

If I can hold off for another few months i'd be looking at something like an E60 5-series or Chrysler 300C.

Sounds like you think the same way as me, love cars but not enough that they will ever cost significant enough money to impact the more important stuff.
 
Not sure. Want something significantly faster though !

Im looking to change in a year or more, so will have to think more seriously closer to the time, but something jap with a turbo is tempting. Celica GT4 and MR2 Turbos are looking preferable at the moment.
 
Well I'm hoping my Vectra will last a couple more years of small bills after all the work I've had done already leaving me time to save for something better lol. I'm thinking something along the lines of something VAG and turbo'd Leon Cupra maybe Golf. All depends how the funds are going at this point. If all is well then maybe an older scooby.
 
I'm aiming for a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. If not that then anything with at least 300BHP. :D
 
Merc 190E 2.6 Auto as a stop-gap, then either a Subaru Legacy Touring B Spec, or a Mercedes E55 AMG (2004ish). Won't be for a couple of years yet though.

I want something that handles just as well as my current car, if not better. Something faster.

Probably be a Scooby of some sort :) - Won't be a while yet though, loving my car to bits as it is :D (plus I can't get insured on a Scooby :p)
