Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to see your opinions on what's been going through my mind recently :)

As much as I love the Pulsar, I've been thinking of a change for some reason. In the new year I'll be getting a diesel to use to get to and from work, so the practical side of things aren't going to be too much of a problem. I can get insured on a 306 dt for the same amount each month as what I use in petrol on the Pulsar in 4 days. :| So that's a definate for next year.

Now, that means that whatever car I have, it will be locked away most the week, and only used at weekends mainly, and the odd evening drive. Which means I can also get cheaper insurance on a limited mileage policy. :) So in the long run it'll work out cheaper for me to own and run 2 cars instead of using the Pulsar for work and everything. :D

Now, the question is, if I did decide on a new car, which one of these do you think would be best ;)

Evo IV GSR.

This obviously still maintains the 4wd that I'm now used to and love, handles great, and plenty of potential for getting more power.

Next up, an RX7 twin turbo:
Image

Image

Obviously a gorgeous car, only 2 seats so I won't have to do as much running about and also plenty of potential for more power. But it's rwd and I think I'd rather feel a bit safer in 4wd. But I just have a thing for RX7's :)

Or, keep the Pulsar:

Image

This obviously now has the 17's on, so ignore them wheels. The plus points to this is that I know the car. I know what's been done to it, and know that alot of the parts are now new and good for a while. Plus I love the smile it puts on my face, and the looks on other peoples face when they don't know what it is! :lol: It's 4wd, it's one of the better ones around (paintwork and power wise) and it's got the potential to be a mentally quick car without spending too much on it. Plus I haven't even started doing the things I wanted to do to it yet!

I know not alot of you like the Pulsar, but put yourself in my shoes and imagine it was yours and take on board the points I've mentioned. At the minute I just don't know what to consider doing really. :rolleyes: :lol:

arg! its a toss up between the evo and the pulsar for me :lol:


if it were me i'd go the fore evo as i do like them..but.... as you know your car and have spend time and money putting the little things right i'd say stick with the pulsar and add your little trinkits(sp?) to make it stupidly quick


plus when people see an evo they know what it is, where as you've just said your pulsar does have a certain element of surprise :devil: ;)

RX-7 is my favourite out of the lot.

You see plenty of RWD drive cars on the road all year round, Just take it easy until your used to it, and as you say, it'll probably only be outin the dry anyway.

I think i'd keep the pulsar over getting an evo though. just for the surprise element :devil:

Go and see a couple, drive them and let that make your mind up :)
