Ohh

I was tempted to make an offer

Hmm that doesn't seem right. However I was looking at them today funnily enough! I've convinced myself that I want one!

Perfect for traffic jams in London

I convinced myself a long time ago I wanted one.

Other ones seem very cheap for the kind of car you are getting, or as JC likes to call it a cheap M5.

Cant knock that for the price and performance!

That kind of car, for that kind of money is crazy! The tuning potential is crazy aswell, some folk have added twin turbos kicking out over 800bhp. Fairly cheap aswell.

Is it just me that doesn't have any interest in these cars at all? Personally, I think they look minging, sort of like a facelift Omega.

Sure they have decent performance and a sweet sounding engine but visually... Eurgghh!

Personally think they look awsome, saw one on the road around here and the presence it brings is great. You just need to look at it to feel scared.

Slightly OT but, why does the boot seem so small? The car itself is slightly bigger than a 3 series coupe from what I can gather. Is it just because the rear seats are further back for more leg room or is that some kind of cover in there?

NS

Edit - Doesn't look like its the seats, whats the cover for?

I agree it isn't a looker and it's not what you'd call refined, but I think this is part of the charm... I'm not really too worried how a car looks, it doesn't matter when you're driving it! Saying that, if a car does look good it's a nice little bonus.

I'd get one if I had the cash spare...

I thought the boot had quite a fair bit of space for a coupe?

Moeks · 3 Oct 2008 at 22:06

I'd say it's quite a bit longer than a 3 series coupe tbh.

If it wasn't for top gear i doubt they'd have half the fan club that they do.

I very much doubt that. They are a high performance, comfy, decent looking coupe at a very good price.

Bang for buck there isn't many other cars that compete.

about 15k worth of car there, my m8 is looking at chopping his alpina b10 3.3 in for a 6.0 vxr monaro or a 911

i reckon the monaro would give him more of a

factor
