Now I actually have a bit of money to spend on a car I can't decide on what to buy.


I'm after:

Lots of poke

No rattling or crap interiors

Looks mean and not like something from Cars (so nothing else French!)

Leather

Toys

Has to be black unless it looks awesome in another colour.

I'm not doing moon mileage so fuel consumption has to be reasonable, and by reasonable I mean better than the 22 MPG I'm getting atm :eek:

After the thread I started about a year ago asking about a potential Audi A4 purchase, Fox and many may others correctly advised me that getting anything other than a pre 2001 model (IIRC) would have been utterly pointless, and after driving a few different age models I did fall in love with the 2005 A4 S Line in its 2.0 TFSI guise. I found one with tonnes of toys going for a steal but managed to miss it due to my inactivity, and all the ones I have spotted with similar spec are about 12/13k now :(
I also like the look of the 8P A3 in S Line trim, but have no idea about these apart from the assumption that the 2.0 TFSI lump in a smaller car would be fun?

Any other suggestions as I seem to be blinded by Audi atm :(
 
Sounds to me like a A4 would be perfect. Keep searching and you will find the model you are after with the right extras. Took me 3 months of searching but was well worth the wait. get out and test drive as many as possible.
 
Everybody seems to have a BMW down here so I'm after something different even if I am cutting my nose off to sapite my face (unless you can convince me otherwise) and Fords and Vauxhalls are a no no as are Fiat. :)

Edit:

Sorry for being a bit vague, I want something that is going to be fairly practical (as in I can put large things in the boot with the seats down if REALLY necessary) but nothing too old and farty practical. I'd like something with some oompf as I'm bored of thrashing the knackers off my car to get anywhere, it's entertaining but I know I'd get bored very quickly if I got something like a Teggy.
