Looking for ideas really. Had a few so far but open to others. Ideally I don't want to spend more than about £5k - £6k
Good size boot is nice for holidays but sure I could live with a saloon.
I have always wanted a V8 so I am leaning that way
So far looked at
BMW 545i (probably touring)
Audi S4
Vauxhall monaro
Mazda 6 mps
Volvo S60r
Volvo S80 v8 (engine made by Yamaha don't ya know)
Subaru Impreza WRX (possibly sportwagon)
I am not interested in Jag's or Rovers etc. I am still a little to young for jackets with elbow patches. :lol

BMW 545i (probably touring) - not bad!
Audi S4 - good till it goes wrong then kerching!
Vauxhall monaro - ALL THE WAY :lol
Mazda 6 mps - Yawn!
Volvo S60r - old man's car!
Volvo S80 v8 (engine made by Yamaha don't ya know) - another old man's car!
Subaru Impreza WRX (possibly sportwagon) - chavvy and ugly!
The Monaro.......totally awesome, basic design and a proven lump - won't go wrong. Buy it :evil

I had also considered a S8 but being the same engine as the S4 and S6 (4.2 V8) I ruled it out thinking it will be a tad heavy to be fun. granted you can get some good larger cars for the money I intend to spend but I want something a bit sporty.

Lol.. Monaro is ok. I have pretty much ruled them out tbh. That one is a bit high mileage and the interior looks a bit worn (seat bolster) And I know I said petrol wasn't much of an issue but 17-18mpg would upset me a little lol. My Vectra does about 200 miles to £60 of v-power.. god knows what that will do lol.
Post by: FuZzBoM on 29 October 2013, 08:37:07 am
just saw the bugget soz maybe pick up a M3 that needs sorting out.
Budget can go a little higher depending on what it is, would probably be M5 over an M3 though.
Will keep in mind though.

Just think of the associated costs to re-wire the indicators so they work..................not to mention the front fog light inhibit switch unless its actually foggy :pokefun

After that then probably the BMW. Audi's I'm not keen on and the Volvo / Mazda are nice cars but aren't "special" enough compared to the rest of the list. I also like to own slightly more obscure cars apparently - it can be a bit underwhelming when you see 10 other people driving the same car as you during the drive to the shops... My friend has a 2006 Ford Focus - nice car BUT there's just so many of them and they all seem to be the same colour, its insane!

Mitsu Evo IX
one is practical, one is nutter. The torque on the 335d is immense. You could even go for the 135i if you're really insane.

Bigbluebear - I have seen many low mile 'sporty' cars for naff all money. people don't want petrol guzzlers any more (apart from me) I am also fairly handy with the spanners so have no worries on servicing or maintenance.
Dilligaf - Sorry but that sounds truly horrible. Going from a 3.2 V6 to a little town car is my idea of hell. Living in Milton Keynes all roads are 60-70mph, low power cars are pointless round here. (Not trying to be rude just how I feel)
Mick-H - Octavia vrs maybe, Fabia VRS hell no too small
Simonm - Do not want a diesel. devils fuel lol.. I also live a mile or so from work so it would coke itself up in no time. Evo... I have worked on a a mates Evo 5 and I think that has tainted my view of them. Bloody terrible to work on
Yamazer-92 - epic but I would spend more time under it than driving it lol.
Maybe I should have set a few guidelines. I like quick Saloons and larger cars in general. I am 6'3 and 17 stone so roadsters and city cars are a no go. I also have 2 dogs that like to be taken to fun places :lol
Hate to say it but the Impreza is looking like the winner so far. Ticks all my boxes and rather rapid. With snow set to be here by November so the scaremongers say the AWD will be a great help. I like to fettle and there are so many options to play with on them.
Seen many for £5-£6k mark with 50k on the clock. I also agree the older 'Bug eye' and 'Blob eye' were ugly but check a 'hawk eye' out.. They are really nice. Granted they say beauty is the eye of the blah blah but I like them.

Driven quite a few of the cars mentioned in my role at work. Tbh, I'd pick the bmw 335d over the Scooby. It's just a better car. (dont know if you can get one for the price your after).
You can remap them up to nearly 400 brake, and 650lb/ft torque!! The roll on power is incredible, no turbo lag, no revving the knackers off it. Just instant power all the time, and handling is sublime. We use the 335d m sports at work for training advanced drivers, and they're ace, not much can keep up with them. I just wish we had them for general use. :(
I was a petrol head, and have been for the last 25 years. Recently moved to diesel, and won't look back now. Have a go in a few high powered derv cars, you never know, you might like them.
Post by: FuZzBoM on 29 October 2013, 11:12:56 pm
Problem is now days people junk cars after they are about 4 years old. Madness when you think modern engines are so good.
I have a few mates who lease cars. 1 has a merc at £250 a month.. so paying £3k a year on a car you have nothing to show for at the end of it?! confuses the hell out of me. Granted some people do 30k miles a year or whatever but most of my mates don't.
I have driven a few 'quick' diesels but with my minimal commute it would kill he engine. Petrol is the best way for me tbh.
to throw an extra one into the mix you can now get older RS6's for around £10k.. I have driven one a few years back.. a whole new world of silly they are. would love one but I cannot justify that to the mrs lol. She will think i am cheating on her having to go to the petrol station so much. :lol

The addiction was strong and within 2 years I had sunk around 12 grand into it :eek
td06 turbo, yellow injectors, front mount, power fc, Andy forrest remap. 3inch pipe straight from the turbo, rally prepared box, brembos, coilovers + lots more!!!
Fantastic car, 1200 kgs, 400+ hp, only ever had trouble with a few cars, one being a merc, and only ever on long straights, don't know what type it was as I couldn't get close enough, obviously derestricted as I was over 155 and this thing was still going..
But any car upto a ton was fair game..
The way they can go round corners is astounding, especially when you have learnt left foot braking to cure the understeer..
But to get imprezas that good costs money, so in light of this it has to be an M3

Phew.. thought I was the only one lol. I am looking at a 230bhp wrx. I am not looking for silly bhp but it is easy and cheap enough to get it upto sti bhp for a couple of hundred quid.
you have made me feel better about it.
I like to fettle with things so it will keep me occupied I am sure.
On a side note for that Celica.. Erm no thanks. Overpriced and slow. If you posted a link for a GT4 however. Different matter all together. :lol

Currently running an MG ZS which has the 2.5 litre V6 engine (about 180bhp). Its outclassed by everything you are thinking of so I wouldn't recommend it in this instance but it is a nice car to drive and it cost me £465... I kid you not. It needed a new gearbox, which is kind of fair enough but that only set me back £100 and I did the install myself. Even then, you can pick these cars up for about £1000 without any issues.
As much as I love it, it probably is a stepping stone up to some sort of outrageous and stupid V8 with more power than sense ^^
Post by: Frosties on 31 October 2013, 08:55:07 am
Looks like you have the same outset as me - my car is basically bought for the same reason as my bike - its a toy. I don't have to commute which is a plus and I enjoy driving just as much as motorcycling (though I think the bike has the edge). All of my cars have been cheap - the first few were because they were bad but my current was a bargain.

You've just given an idea Dead Eye - how about the MG ZT V8 as per linky. 260Bhp, 0-60 in 6 secs, looks good to me & Clarkson even loved it.......might even start looking myself, would be a laugh a minute at the lights :lol

It's certainly an option and the V6 and V8 engines are much more reliable than their 4 cylinder counterparts.
Mind you I personally think the rear of the ZT could do with... something... The ZS (my ZS) has a rear spoiler which takes your eye off of that sloping back end
Not a great photo, but the only one I have side-on apparently :\

Was talking with my mechanic a few months back and he was pointing out that mine and my friends car both had lazy V6's (my friends car is the Mitsubishi FTO in the photo above - 2L V6 150~ bhp). He then proceeded to show us his modified VW Caddy which I think was a either a 3.2L or 3.6L V6 putting out over 300bhp
Still, I prefer the sound of a V8 ;)

If you make your mind up on a particular car then it may be worth checking out if they have an Owners Club online and see if anyone is selling on there. Its not guaranteed but most owners that are part of the Owner Club tend to look after their vehicles as they are passionate about them. I'd say that was certainly the case with the majority of owners on here and I have no reservations in believing that my Gen 1 thou was looked after by the previous owner who was a part of these forums.
£10k on an 05 MG is a bit much though, can't argue with that point unless its had work to justify it - that one appears to be a pretty good example though but I don't think the OP is after the estate version

I like the idea of the Impreza due to the fact there are so many bits out there to play with. I have seen many nice ones for £6-£7k and bang for buck there is very little better. I would like a big engine German car but in reality it would be little better than my vectra. yeah it may have more power and a nicer interior but just not the fun factor I am seeking.
Round where I live you see Merc's, BMW's and Audi's etc. Be nice to be different from the crowd. :D
Also the newer ones are not that common so there is less of the chav element to them these days.
Not purchased yet so still time for me to change my mind.

Although not as sporty it would be a tad rapid if you unleashed the horses?

I know you had a lower price limit but if you considered that 4 litre MG for near £10k then i would rather have this?

Sorry don't like. Never wanted a convertible. Nice car for the money granted but just not for me.
Wouldn't want the MG either, although quick has a whiff of old man about it. cream leather... nice lol
If nothing else this thread has shown there are some really nice and quick cars out there for very little money. If I were doing one of them silly topgear challenges 'buy a fast car for £10k' I would be all over most of these.

Do the brakes work or did you deliberately park in the vegetation. :lol
Funny you say that I was planning on upgrading the brakes.. reason I parked it so close is because people have a habit of cutting that corner off when going down our road. My last car had a scuff from someone doing that.
I agree it isn't everyone's cup of tea and it is a very involving drive. be perfect for that bad weather we are meant to have soon.
