Unsung heroes

Look as I said in the last line

"Please feel free to correct me, or add new ones.. All this is just my personal opinion and I am sure there will be people who think otherwise and argue that this is a lot of ******** "

I just posted this for awareness, maybe someone who was looking to buy Ford Focus RS

Looked at this thread and thought.. maybe BMW M3 is a better choice... thats all :D

What is this thread trying to achieve?

I'm now going to buy a 6.0 litre A8 for a pittance...

Me: my gearbox just went on my A8 mate.
Audi specialist: no worries, sir, a new one is only 6k.
Me: oh right...

Most second hand dealers give at least 1 year parts-labour warranty sometimes more. Well I did mention this in the beginning :)
 
But nobody buys an £8.5k 9 year old Mk1 Focus RS unless they are a big Fast-Ford Enthusiast. There are numerous 'better' and newer hot hatches for that money meaning the RS is bought by people who want an RS and nothing else. They are not going to suddenly realise they can buy an M3 for the same price and do that instead. Its not like buying 1 year old Fiesta and deciding actually perhaps an 18 month old Polo is a better bet, is it?

It's worthless. Buy a W12 A8 from an independant dealer. Good luck getting a new gearbox 5 months later without weeks or months of faff and court action.

Out of interest what car do you drive?

Anyway, I dont want to argue or prove anything to anyone :) I tried to be helpful if I wasnt, I am sorry... I am not going to argue with anyone :)

Good night to you all.

Anyway, less semantics; an Mr2 is quicker.

To me an unsung hero is something like a 330. Doesn't pretend to be an m3 but is still an allround capable car.
 
I think you have the wrong title for the thread OP. Wouldn't classify any of those as unsung hero's. To me something like the Subaru XT & SVX were unsung 'heroes', cars that were underated, fell under the radar, forgotton. I would personally classify even the P10 Primera GTE and P11 Primera GT as unsung 'heroes'. Although even then a better term would be underrated cars then 'heroes'.
 
Champagne taste but beer money springs to mind.

I can understand the want for a 7 series type car for the price of a new Yaris/Polo, but people seem to forget that these cars were once 70k cars which will throw massive bills at you.

£700 for tires anyone? £2000 for a gearbox? Etc etc

And for that reason I am out :D
