I am thinking of a new car
 

I am considering selling the Pajero and getting a new car, something small and sporty and require your comments and input. Been to Peugeot and the one I like is 120k and have been advised not to bother with Peugeot's dodgy gear boxes apparently. I am going to see a SEAT Leon later this week, I had a SEAT in the UK and was very happy with it. The other option that I quite like is the Mitsubishi ASX (not sporty but good price etc).

Thank you

(budget less than 100k)

Do you want 4WD small & sporty? then RAV4 2 door
Do you want city small & sporty? then Golf GTi

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

VW R32 (maybe now called Golf R?). GTi's fun, R's mega--sweetest auto gearbox you can find, 4WD, subtle styling. Mega.

R32 stopped being manufactured for Mk6. I have a Mk6 GTi, lovely car.

Toyota GT86? 95k, reliable, sporty and great to drive

i had a seat alhambra it was brill, very sporty especially as it was a minivan when the kids were little, u would get the white landcruisers/patrols trying to race you from the lights, guess who always had a much better acceleration than a 4x4. it was brill servicing here as well, but now the service center has gone in auh but it was an excellent car.

Nissan Murano. 260 horses, can't be bad.

me too :thumbsup:

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

I have a ASX, very happy with it x

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

The R32 was the peak of the lot...To replace that with a turbo is outrageous - they have to tone the turbos down in the GCC vs. Europe too.

Damn environmentalists.

means that its easy to service etc, no waiting.

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

Love my TTS thats a good sport option

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

Actually, this. If you can wait...

Re: I am thinking of a new car
 

Why wait? They have been out for ages.

Also if there aren't any about you can get the Subaru version which is the same car (exactly) just with a different badge.

As for a Golf GTi..... yawn! Tis hardly original. And all in all, they're pretty soft. Quick yes but a they look after you. My mate has just got a Megane R26..... ooft! He says its significantly faster all through the range and much more 'involved' than the Golf GTI ever was (he's got a GTi too).
