what new car to buy?

[andy51086]

well the time has come to sell the saxo and get a new car. i dont know what to buy though. i have narrowed it down to two cars :

bmw 318 coupe or

honda civic coupe 1.6 sr v-tech


what do you guys think

[Dan]

how much you got to spend?

not a big fan of either to be honest but out of the two id say the civic.

[andy51086]

about 3500 insurance is about the same price for both. im tempted for the beemer because of the rear wheel drive. ill get some sideways action lol

[welshy2k]

andy your a glasweign where you going to get some sideways action in glasgow without the police up your arse smileys/smiley17.gif

[wideboy]

sideways isnt always a good thing tho, specialy in our guff scottish weather

id go for the v-tec out of the two! very tuneable and loads of parts available

[welshy2k]

Yeah wideboy is right the V-Tech has more possibilites

[andy51086]

[welshy2k]

[andy51086]

buy a VTS smileys/smiley17.gif


nnnooooooooooooo already had a vtr. liked it at first but too many problems, costin to much too fix

[wideboy]

well wen u get problems with an m3 engine..or a typeR engine - ur gonna hav to pay a damn sight more than wot u wud with a saxo

bigger engines r gonna get mor problems wen u hash them

[welshy2k]

how about an Imprezza? or FTO?

[wideboy]

civic jordan

[andy51086]

was looking at imprezas but it would have to be one without the turbo. an impreza without a turbo is like a honda without the v -tech

[welshy2k]

have good fun getting insured buddy your a year younger than me an im having hell of a time getting insured for my new car smileys/smiley17.gif

[andy51086]

civic jordan

about 5 grand upwards to buy

[andy51086]

have good fun getting insured buddy your a year younger than me an im having hell of a time getting insured for my new car smileys/smiley17.gif

already got quotes. i wouldnt get insured for a impreza turbo or a civic jordan

[welshy2k]

any mention of turbo and they insures deny buddy i know this for fact smileys/sad.gif

[wideboy]

anything with a bigger engine ur gonna hav to compensate for the amount of fuel ul b using too

every1 knows old beemers drink petrol

[andy51086]

i know . they just hang up when you say your are 18 and want to insure a tubo lol

[andy51086]

anything with a bigger engine ur gonna hav to compensate for the amount of fuel ul b using too

every1 knows old beemers drink petrol

they dont have to be pushed as hard to get there though

[welshy2k]

im 20 an the buggers still deny me smileys/sad.gif might have to look to sell the car smileys/sad.gif although elephant quoted me 2569 or close to it....i firstly thought it was fully comp but then realises they only insured it under fire n theft smileys/sad.gif

[andy51086]

what car was that

[welshy2k]

that would be telling smileys/smiley17.gif im going to post pics up later i have been meaning to do it since i got the car but havent got round to smileys/sad.gif

[wideboy]

u dont hav to push them, but they stil guzzle it up. unless u get a reasonably new 1, the economy isnt gonna b great at all

specially if u get this "sideways action" ur talking about

id go for the civic. hondas r built to last and hold theyr price really well

[andy51086]

there are a lot of cars out there to buy its murder trying to find one that does everything you want

[welshy2k]

yeah in most cases you will have to sacrifice something so you should get your main priority

[andy51086]

priority are

1.comfort
2.reliability
3.power
4. looks

[welshy2k]

Saxo VTs smileys/smiley17.gif lol what about a GOLf GTi?

[andy51086]

was lookin at a mrk 3 2.0 16v gti resonable insurance cheaper than the bmw and honda

[gafvts]

i would go for the mk2 golf mate,think look ace

[welshy2k]

thier u go andy smileys/smiley20.gif go for the golf

[HannonVTS]

Defo go for he golf 150bhp if its the 16v, and quite quick. The bmw 318`s are well slow mate!!

[Dave_J_UK]

Yeah BMW's are slow unless you go for a 328 or M3!

[andy51086]

dont like the mk2 golfs a bit too old for me. i like the mk3 though. and i would only get the 2.0 16v model

[wideboy]

oof i LOVE mk2 golfs! theyr proper euro, and built like a brick shit house! if i found one with decent milage and good bodywork/chassis - id get it without hesitation! the gti 16v with big bumpers just makes me wet myself smileys/smiley9.gif cabrios r gorgeous too


but yeh - id reccomend a mark3 too, can look pretty damn awesome and highly modable
