Help with next car choice?
 

hello there :)

I'll soon be selling the Fiesta ST and be looking for a new car, and due to the market being HUGE I was wondering what are my options and what do you guys think is best...

The requirements:
• has to be 4door (this isn't debatable)
• has to be fast (sub 7seconds)
• has to be low(ish) miles
• has to be reasonable to insure :p
• diesel or petrol
• priced no more than £3,000

let me know what you come up with :y:

Accord type r

Out of interest why below 7 seconds 0-60? Is it a number you pulled out of your arse? lol

Also when do you ever actually do 0-60 on a road?

Accord isn't a bad idea.

No you daft twat :p lol ... it's just a figure to aim for to stop people saying stuff like a crappy vectra or even worse a mondeo. My ST is 7.9 so want something a little quicker. No-one does 0-60 on a road nor track but it's just a way of saying something a little faster as people won't want me to bore them with figure lol.

Accord type r is quick but rather old looking :n:

I do 0-60 alot on the roads.....I am Traffic light king on the IOM.

Vectra C Gsi.

saab 93 aero?

edit - big tuning potential too for not a great deal of money.

volvo t5

triple engined saxo 1.5d

golf gti...

5 door MG ZR, 2 litre turbo diesel or 1.8 vvc 160 petrol. :)

+1

MK4 Golf GTI 1.8 Turbo :y:

Dont be silly!

Golf 1.8T is a great shout - leave money to one side for the remap ;)

Seat Leon 20vt
kerching!

Under 7second 0-60, with low miles, for under £3000? Is that even possible?

well the mg zr 1.8 160bhp vvc does it in 7.4 i think or 7.6 or something, and you can pick them up for under 2 grand.

i know its slightly over 7 seconds but its great value for money.

yeah, but its a rover in a bodykit...they look hideous !

mk4 golf gti id go for IMO

not this shit again :ponder::gives:

seriously an MG ZR, have a word!

mk4 golf is a decent shout though.

better than french shit.

Your on a saxo forum :omg:

i know, and i also drive a saxo :omg:

If i had £3k for a new car, i certainly wouldn't be looking at an MG ZR.

thats always good to know :)

you certainly arnt clued up about cars...

please shh.

its great to know, that some people actually have a tad bit of fucking sense when it comes to buying a car.

id rather give 3k to a fucking crack whore, then buy an MG ZR!

do you tuck your tracksuit bottoms into your socks?

you say the accord typeR is rather old looking.

better up your budget if you want something newer...

Mg Zr?

they look awesome !
or maybe an alteza... they look pretty spanky spanky!

:homme:

what is so bad about a mg zr then?

and no i dont even own a pair of track suit bottoms.

I don't mind them personally, although i couldnt see myself owning one.

4doors can GTF anyway. 2 doors or walk. lol

quick, new looking, low miles, 4 doors - all for £3k. the OP is deluded.

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2992827.htm (nasty colour, but you get the idea) - these can be had for around 3k

whats soo good about them?
slow, ugly, expensive, unreliable, common, waste of space . . .

seats feel like shit
interior is so dull and annoying, aswell as looking and feeling super cheap
it lacks, the ability to put a smile on someones face.
gear changes are horrid!
nothing about them is smooth, fluid, soft, ... anyhting you look for in a car.

even the sound of closing the door, sounds cheap and tacky.

MG ZR is a car that can be had for around £1k.

Thats why i wouldn't be looking at them if i had £3k to spend.

as much as id hate to say it, but you could get a nice bimmer for that kind of money.

and you'd be silly not too.

Early E46's look wank, but if you can get past that, you have a whole host of decent motors to chose from.

bearing in mind were on a saxo forum, the 105 is roughly on par with a vtr, and the 120 is roughly on par with the vts.

there roughly the same price as the saxos.

there no more unreliable than a saxo infact there more reliable if there looked after.

there a much more solid car than a saxo

far better built than a saxo

engines are better than the french engines (aslong as uprated head gasket is fitted)

much more fun to drive than a saxo as you can actualy go round corners without wondering if your guna full off the road.

so they are better than a saxo in general.

Either your saxos an absolute shitter, or you can't drive.

Have you even driven any of the cars you have mentioned?

An MG ZR will out handle a saxo?

mug . . .

EDIT: Ashley beat me too it. This kids deluded.
