THE 50K CHALLENGE: NEW MUSTANG ON THE WAY, BUT WOULD 50K BE BETTER SPENT ON ANOTHER MARQUE?

[Gibbo]

'Not too fussed about 0-60'

'as long as its sub 4s'

Well I did not say sub 3s

Must say raining tonight, wet roads and that Golf on the PS4 tyres can corner so hard and on the limits its superb, really a car that handles great when pushed so hard, really impressive and really is a mini GTR but I'd say easier to drive on limits due to its smaller size.

 

[Dis86]

So...we've ruled out a GTR...the list is narrowing!

Father in law picked up a new RS3 saloon last week, he kept options fairly light but spec'd the sports exhaust and my does it sound good on start up! Not sure if it's up your street but a potential one to look at maybe?

@Maccy girls version of the Audi RS selection

 

[wedrum]

with gibbos current lineup an audi makes no sense unless its the R8.

 

[Dr House]

I hear they are supposed to be good cars.

But I would get soemthing like this, just hold out until you find a nice one for £55k

One of the best suggestions so far. A quality product.

Gibbo would never drive a dirty derv... Trust me!

I don't think it's AWD? and thought he was after that? still looks nice tho

 

[Gibbo]

One of the best things linked so far I think.

Driven one before, felt it had same issue, lack of traction and the balance was not as good as the F-type or Mustang.

Am going to Jaguar now to collect an F-type for the day.

Extremely unusual that's for sure. Much more so than the Mustang. It just goes to show that £50k can still buy something very special despite "modern classics" becoming extremely expensive.

Looks brilliant tbh. Always liked the look of these.

It's about as modern as the ark. 50k on that?!

Didn’t say it was modern, just unusual! (Perhaps special was too positive?!) A V8 F type would be a much better Jag if one could be found within budget.

The sensible buyer would go for an ecoboost Mustang for better gas mileage anyway.

To be fair the All ally construction from the 2005 concept coupe and 2010 engine isn’t that old. It’s just cos it’s not got idrive yeah? That’s cos it’s got udrive instead

Personally I can see that colour RS staying strong value wise aswell.

As modern as the ark reaaaally? Looks great but I definitely wouldn't look at one over an F Type.

Anyway Andy enjoy your F Type day.
