New Car......Options?

Well, its about the time now that im looking for a new car. Only problem is i cant really make up my mind on which one to head towards, My current ones iv been looking at are;

Renaultsport Megan R26. 230
VW Golf Mk5 GTI
Audi TT Mk1 225 (hard top)
Seat Leon Cupra 225

Obviously in my time i will try and get test drives in all of the above cars aswell.

Just looking for peoples opinions on the above cars, or maybe suggestions on other cars that people think may be suitable, Im 21 currenly hold 1 years NCB and am currently driving a Leon cupra 180. My budget will be about £8000 also.

Thanks.

i bought a mk5 today, its only 1.4 but i dont need bigger engine as my mk2 is getting a abf conversion over winter. i paid 8.5k pretty much brand spanking new, 9K on the clock, and this car has alot potential, already looking for rims and stuff.

how about a mk2 s3?

at ur age dude with that kinda budget,id go tt or boxster probably once you got kids 2 seaters are over!

after thinking of the boxster once before, THEN thinking of service cost and all other cost of the upkeep, kind of got put off. i have a mate that works for porsche so i know some of the cost of things.

any of them except this "Renaultsport Megan R26. 230"

My brother has a 06 boxster with the newer, less frequently serviced engines and it still costs a bomb to run! the standard oil change service is about £400 from Porsche. and the older ones (the ones for £8k-£16k) need to be serviced more and aren't as well built.

I'd go for the TT or mk5. Have you thought about anything RWD like jap of BMW - you could get a nice bugeye scooby or a E46 330 for that money!

Leon Cupra, more for your money.

yeah, it will be my daily so would be far to expensive to run, as for jap or bmw, it has to be something with low milage for my money around 40-50k, arnt the BMW's out of my price range for a clean low milage one?

what are my options for jap cars? not really clued up on them.

thanks

The black scooby or the Evo FTMFW! soo good - although from experience, insurance companies will rape you on them!

DC5's are awesome but it's a shame they're FWD

Megane for me out the list above

Is it still the quickest FWD car round the ring?

that is f@ckin awful, why would you put that sort of effort into a delslow?

Might be out of your price range as i don't know what they go for but the Mk5 Edition 30 are worth a look.

Or Mk4 R32 are super cool

got anything yet?
