right im getting a bit more money in feb, so i think its time i move on a bit in the car world, so i'm looking at somthing a bit newer and nicer than the clio.
so far ive come up with these choices, but its always nice to have people throwing their opinoins in.
Image
VX220 turbo
Image
DC5
Image
twingo 133
Image
R26

when the time comes i'll be going on about a million test drives as i basicly want to try anything that i'm even slightly interested in, so if you have anymore suggestions throw them in.

Oh and so far it's all about the 220 turbo

You sir....have good taste :thumbsup:

They all sound good....slightly nearing to the teg...but thats prob cos i like the Jap scene

Could go for an elise instead of a 220 depending on price? or how about an RX8(unsure on the price compared to your selection)
:)

as much as i like the R26's abilities, the twingo is good and a DC5 has the 'Tec noise, VX220 turbo :drool: will be immense

i believe the turbo is 4.7 0-60 as standard :thumbsup:

i'd go for that, the only vauxhall i seriously like :D (minus monaros :lol: )

What's your Ideal budget?

I'm not a fan of VX220's personally, but are any of these in your price range too?

Mini Cooper JWC S
Audi RS4 Quattro
Honda S2000
RX-7 (running costs...)
Clio V6
350Z
Focus RS

Of course they are all in different leagues, and so on, and I'd only buy a few of those in the list myself, but If you get a DC5 or an R26 I am around in a shot dude and you know it. It'd be a mixture of happiness and jealousy for you.... bastard!

You may hate me for saying it, but you do know if I had 12k to spend, I'd spend 4/5k on a DC2 for the weekend/track, and 5/7k on something comfy but sporty, Like an Accord Type R, 182 Trophy, Megane 225 iuf you're lucky etc etc so at least you won't suffer depreciation too badly if you did say, by an R26.

Out of those four I would probs get the VX220.

Looks the best in my opinion (even with those badges on!) and is probs one of the better handling out of the choice. 8-)

A turbo VX220 would be an awsome choice in my opinion.

What about an alfa 147 GTA, don't know much about them other than they
look unbelievably nice.

Can pick up some scoob's/EVO's for good money these days, my mate had a WRX
STI (old shape) which was great fun, soooo much grip.

VX220 All day long, not quite the prettiest thing, but handle well, and go well too, with oodles of potential to boot. Apparently the only thing that lets these down is the badge. Quite rare too.

All FWD other than that, you not tempted by something that is R/4wd?
