Sugest a car please

Zip · 17 Jan 2006 at 06:29

Im looking for a car and i want some sugestions for what i should get.
Its going to be my 1st car but i should have around 8,000GBP to spend and i might be able to get around 13000GBP if im good

I like subarus, bmws, toyotas and other Europian cars.
I dont like Astras and i dont really like convertables. Im looking at more of a sporty car like a coupe but sedans are ok.
But any sugestion is welcome.
It will need to be reliable and comfortable because i will be going to viset some friends that live about 500kms away ever 2nd or 3rd weekend.

Fuel consuption doesnt consern me as much it does with other people either.
It can be a new or used car. But i would like it to be resonably safe just incase there is that one time u lose consentration or forget to look or u just have some bloody nutter on the road.

So your sugestions please

I live in Australia but i hate all Australian cars

So definatly not a holden. I dont think insurance companys are too bad down here and i dont mind paying a little bit extra. Im also going to do a defensive and an advanced driving course aswell because it not only will improve my skills but lower the price of my insurance premium

Edit:I saw someone mension something about moding a car. Truth is i dont really want to do that because most the people that do that in my town are ******* and i dont want to be thought of as one of those people

Ok dont shout out the australain cars. A lot of cars u have been mensioning on this forum we do have down here.

Cars down here cost about 5000AUDs then what they do up there but if u search hard enough u canm find them at the same price

Well I'm surprised it's that price! 2003 about 6k i think not! He said he wasn't bothered about fuel, it's reliable and comfortable

Im suprised aswel. I almost died of shock when i saw that

Great find

Ill be looking at insurance quotes to see what its gonna cost me.(not that im going to get it, but just to see how many weeks pay it might take)
Ive been through a lot of car sites but never knew this one existed. Thanks for that.
Why do u think its so cheap?

U can pick up some good European cars down here for a good price, i wish it was better though

There seem to be BMWs everywhere so u can get those at a nice price sometimes but ive never seen any at the price and year of the one being talked about in this thread before. Japanese cars are also every where and so are holdens and fords(comodors and falcon) i like japanese cars to but unlike most people my age i like more of a sporty and luxary style car (like the BMW). Im not one of those people to mod a car up and then be a boy racer, i prefere to drive around on the open road and not have people trying to get me to drag them and race there early 90s and late 80s buz boxes or cheap old holden and ford V8s.
I prefere the finer things in life.
I do like WRXs but they dont have a reputation of a chav car here though
