Ok so £80k to spend, which car. Not including Porsche or Aston martin

Ok so anyway want a car that isn't a large tank i.e. range rover, x5 etc.

Looking for something with 4 seats, fast and reliable.

Here's what I've been thinking about so far

1) GT-R £61k and 3.5 for 0-60 with launch control seems too good to be true - heard it's a very hard ride.

2) BMW m3 convertible

3) Jaguar XKR

Any other suggestions?

thx all

Why no Porsche or Aston

Yea, this totally sounds like the way you'd phrase a genuine 'What £80k car' thread. Absolutely.

I'd find it hard to chose between the Nissan GT-R and the M3 Convertible really. I'd have to test them both before realising one isnt even a convertible.

Was just gonna suggest a Panamera, so I'm out.

Rroff · 2 Jul 2010 at 22:48

Really? Last year you posted a photo of 'your' 911 Turbo though.

And then explained how you'd only recently passed your driving test, had just bought a Clio 1.2 and had only actually *driven* a total of 4 different cars in your life?

Yet now you are asking us to help you chose between a Nissan GTR and an M3 Convertible (Why a Convertible? The Nissan isnt a convertible? Why no M3 Coupe?) because you only have £80k to spend so 'cant afford' a 911 Turbo :confused:

Confusing thread is confusing.

BMW M5?

Serial45 · 2 Jul 2010 at 22:53

Yeah new cars only tbh, like to trade in before they go out of warranty etc.

Out of interest did you have the Porsche Navigation system in your previous car? What did you think?

Sure thing that was years ago and I was only covered on it. This will be my own now

hence the questions asked.

So just over a year ago you bought a Clio 1.2, now you are getting a Nissan GT-R?

Mondeo or BMW 1 series TDi.
