What car to buy??

[eyecandy]

Hey all,

Turns out my work is looking at the option of abolishing company vehicles and paying car allowances instead. This leaves me in an awesome situation were I can piss off my shitbox Mondeo wagon and buy pretty much whatever I like, within my price range of course which would be up to $40k maximum. So it can be used or new.

Only problem is the vehicle cant be over 5 years old. (I was thinking Evo....)

I am kinda struggling to come up with a solution to a practicle (ish) but performance
orientated 4 door vehicle....

Some Ideas I have are as follows;

Focus XR5 turbo

WRX

FG Xr6 Turbo (I think may be top of my list so far)

G6E turbo

There is a lot of people on here with really good taste (obviously because you have Galants and Leggy's ) so any help with some ideas would be appreciated!

G6E. Close thread.

No manual though... otherwise I would say a definate yes... I have always wanted one.

Actually I like them but I'd never buy one.... almost 5yr old Evo would be within reach....

The other problem is when it hits 5 years I have to get rid of it...

Dont know how big a car you are looking at but how about these. VW Golf R32, HSV clubby, Mazda 3 MPS

If you wanted a 2 door you could get pretty much a new civic type r.

Or a 09 WRX STI

 

[Scottie]

Golf

VW Scirocco R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know its outside the price range but just do it

Also a mate of mine has a ford xr5 and it is well optioned and performance wise it won't disappoint.

Maybe scrounge a bit more for the scirocco though

Haha I was going to say scirocco but it was outside the price range.

If you can go over I would say try for that

A4 audi 2.0 turbo quattro should be able to find a B7 in that $ range, VW scirocco is a fine vehicle, had a drive in an R the other week, fun....

I love XR5's, I've driven a few of them, very good fun and cheaper than the rest of the list so far...

Eddy....I'm gonna slap you. such a bland choice of car! The Ralliarts and X's are so boring to look at and drive

 

[eyecandy]

I actually dont like the look at all, 40k could get something better...
