So i want something new

MiNxYyY · 20 Jul 2010 at 16:40

Im turning 21 soon and i want a new car.

I have a budget of about 6k.

Looking for fast and good looking car.

Dont want a mondeo, focus or a fiesta.

Was hoping for a 2litre or above, and something which has an injection, dont mind petrol or diesel.

Any suggestions?

Renault Clio 172/182?

Is less than £6k? Tick

Fast? Tick

Good looking? Tick

Not a Mondeo, Focus or Fiesta? Tick

2 litre or above? Tick

Injection? Tick

Arguably one of the best cars in terms of being a car sub £6000. Faster than a Clio 172/182 and better in every other way.

It would be surprisingly competitive for a 5.0L car! I briefly looked at the possibility of an S500, and insurance wasn't the prohibiting factor, even with my extremely colourful history.

Sorry but what?

Is this 1990 or something? Are you going to get a big sticker for the side saying ============= INJECTION ========== as well?

Still shocked at how cheap these now are.

DISTRONIC (£2,000 EXTA AUTOMATICALLY JUDGES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND THE CAR INFRONT VIA RADAR)

Had no idea they had this technology ten years ago and were fitting it to cars.

SPECIAL ORDER GREY! ORIGINAL PURCHASE RECEIPT OF £76,000 AVAILABLE WITH THE EXTRAS LIST...

It's lost £71k in ten years! :eek:

He wants 'an injection' and seems unconcerned if its petrol or diesel. I suspect he'll be happy with something far less faff than an old BMW.

"Mybatsu THUNDER - Fuel Injection 'Inject Me'"

If no one gets that I'll look a right berk.

In percentage terms it's 93.5% after 10 years, which isn't too bad - something like this is worse: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201028363713579/

That is not typical of the average 2000 Focus though, most are twice that.

lolololololol , I decided to google 'Car with Injection' and this came up under google images

Make he/she an offer? you might get those skanks thrown in for free.

There are enough out there to make the point that 93.5% depreciation after 10 years is not in any way catastrophic, and that there are more regular cars for sale that have suffered a greater loss in value in percentage terms.

What is something which you'd want? A TDI? An A3? Injection? What is it about said thing that makes you like it?

MiNxYyY · 20 Jul 2010 at 17:19

I like the feeling of when i start off, you can feel the injection or turbo w/e kick in and pull you forward, such a nice feeling

TangoSixteen · 20 Jul 2010 at 17:20

MG ZS180 with a Supercharger kit if you are feeling a bit different. Wolf in sheeps clothing, and a nice SUPERCHARGER whine!

Other than that how about a V70R AWD or the newer S60R?

A bit random, but hey..... sue me!

Injection kicked in yo.

It would seem you like the power delivery of a turbocharged engine. You can have that without diesel smog and icky diesel pump hands.
