Looking to change car :)

[kinger8938]

Hi!

just after some advice really. Im 25 and have had 3 cars so far Started with a 106 Quiksilver, then a Mk4 Golf Gti 1.8T.. then due to that having a lot of mile and wanting to save i sort of downgraded to a Citroen C4 VTR (instant regret). ive had this car for a few years now and have never enjoyed driving it tbh

so im looking to change up to something with a bit of a wow factor and a bit of go in it like the golf had. Probably only budget around £5000-7000 tops really. I doubt my C4 would fetch much in resell anyway

so what would you guys recommend? i quite like Type R's, always been fond of those, Focus ST or any hot hatch really but wouldn't be against any other shape or size. What would you guys suggest? i want something that makes me want to go out for random summer drives and stuff like my 1st 2 cars did

Twin Turbo Supra?

I guess that's probably quite far from what you were thinking though.

Porsche Boxster?

Probably similar.

More serious...

SEAT Leon Cupra K1?

Or something similar.

Weapon Spec Cupra with a lot lower miles than the K1?

So long as your happy buying modified.

Guessing you don't need a hatchback then? If not, what about something like a Nissan 350z or Honda S2000? Rear wheel drive, decent power and good looks.

+1 for this, that's a good budget for a 350z or s2000, both great cars but different beasts.

My vote would be a Honda S2000 also

Forgot about 350z's, i did always like those. Are they just 2 seats though? I suppose i should be sensible in that regard and get something with rear seats just incase gf only has a poxy c2

What kind of mileage and type of driving are you doing now? You mention a lot of miles when you bought the C4, but what about now?

Sorry yea i just meant it was getting on a bit, i brought it with high mileage tbh!

Average, only about 20 minutes to work and back all weak then just wherever we go on weekends etc so nothing crazy

I like the look of these too, wasnt even thinking about sporty cars but now i am but should probably get something with more seats

Infinity did the G35 which is basically a 4 seat version of the 350z, im guessing theyre about the same money but not sure, worth a look

Not sure if your budget will stretch quite far enough but a MK5 Golf R32?
