Would say Audi S3 or Honda Type R.

But I'm German so Audi, obviously.

/edit: I'm actually looking into buying an A3 this year.

I second that

i have a golf gti atm but i want something abit faster, and the S3 is pretty much exactly the same with 4WD and 225bhp <@:)

edit, which type-r?

the new S3 is 265bhp and does 5.7s to 100km/h and is faster than golf r32

Thats the newest one. Im looking at like 2001/2 i think!

oh... well you might want to 'tune' it up :D

bet ud get about 270 with an ecu remap :>

btw didn't you post some pics of a civic type-r not long ago?

not that i remember :)

that was thor i think

oh.. lol. I know I saw a black type-r somewhere

Yeah well I don't wanna spend too much money on a car, so I'd be happy with a "normal" 1.9l tdi with 130 bhp.

If you want a golf again you could go for the R32 with 4WD and 250 bhp.

But I would always say Audi > VW quality wise. and I do live in Braunschweig where VW produces parts for the golf.


Anyway in light of an earlier discussion I would recomnend this for you:

/edit: the black type-r

I had a Mk2 VW Scirocco and it definitely made me a VW "fan" after that. It was great but unfortunately we had to part. :-(

I agree though Audi certainly has a more quality look and "feel" to it than VW.

I'd buy an english car.







j/k Get the Audi

type r

S3

TYPE R

TYPE R!!

S3




Somehow, I don't think we are getting closer to solving this :/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wQcUMwKSQU ow dear :/

that comparison doesn't matter to me at all, sry.
Sure, the car I buy should have a acceptable engine but other factors matter, too.

f. Something else

nissan gt-r innit

for me its a real choice between b,c,d, (A end E are abit old now but really quick/awesome cars)

Audi

out of those... b or d, whichever is easier on the wallet :(

<3 my bike

e. no other make chance

but if going newer DC 5 integra

if i could afford a DC5 i wouldnt have to think for a second. My budget is about £7k :( DC5s=£10K

b is most sensible then i guess

You can get a 2001 S3 for 7K ?
I would have thought it would be more but I'm sure you've done your homework and I haven't ;)

yep :)

if i had to pick one of those i'd say B!

this one

bit chavy

isn't that the whole point? :)

was being sarcastic <@:)

Wonder when we can read reports about this one failing just like so many other Lamborghinis due to abstruse engineering/manufacturing mistakes. Woo!

as if you care if you're sitting in that monster :p

the black one in the back plz

ye, thats a lovely car. those air intakes really are very raptor like.

tacky

->

fuck yeah

<3 <3 <3

Not being american and all, is that a pontiac gto?

yes. 1965.

looks alright, i prefer old mustangs or dodge chargers tho!

Ownage.

    `-----(@)========+====(@)------'

the intergra, is a classic and fairly rare

Honda S2000

over budget!

only 17k here

ye thats about 2k over my budge, looking at around 6/7k (pounds so 12/14k$)

wait another month

hah

this is more like "which does not belong" how can you put an audi beside a honda? if you can afford it, s3 definitely, cant imagine anyone driving the other cars you mentioned without looking like an idiot. i'm german btw ;>

:)

out of those definatly the audi

out of those i would have to go with the audi

it isn't a car, but it's my favorite and also what i drive.

the wife's car.

never would've guessed you're american

ever

of course, because europeans, africans, asians, and australians don't drive practical, rugged, all-terrain vehicles with a sense of history. you make the most well-thought out, intelligent comments.

ever.

No, it's because americans dont fit in mini's :P.

the mini cooper is my wife's car; she's european.

Stereotype confirmed, lol.

:)

lol you probably live in a suburb.

i live on a 71x48km tropical island; suburbs don't exist here.

Ye,

Should have looked at the profile :D

Still, do you really need the all terrain features there, since your spouse gets by with the mini cooper.

As pertaining to me, I use public transport,feet and my bicycle.

i ride my bicycle or run to work (less than 5k to get there). my wife's car gets us to most other places we want to go. but most of our leisure activities aren't mini-appropriate. for some of the hiking trails here, you need something with articulation and 4wd just to get to the trail head. also, can't put mountain bikes in the mini.

and it's got a two-tone, italian cordoba leather interior. she'd have a fit if i even suggested putting our 40kg dog in there after a few hours on the trails/beaches (or several days camping). not to mention we're doing a lot of renovating in our home. the mini isn't exactly made for hauling a tonne of grout, thinset, ceramic tile, etc.

the mini gets great fuel mileage, fits in any parking spot, and blows most of the rice-racers/tuners off the road by and far before the supercharger even kicks in (at which point they get destroyed); we use it for most things. but the wrangler certainly does things and goes places we wouldn't dare use the mini for.

my father lived in North Africa for several years and had Toyota Landcruiser there which he also needed. Of course, it's not comparable to a toy jeep like yours but oh well ;)

on the trail, modern landcruisers, fj cruisers, and hummers are like the little kids that get their lunch money stolen by wranglers. these days, the only way any of those could hope to keep up is with thousands of dollars sunk into the aftermarket. the newest wranglers are easily the most capable all-terrain vehicle ever mass produced :)

try using an open wrangler to travel somewhere in the Sahara.

You'll soon see where you fail miserably ;)

beauty of the "convertible" concept.

Out of those, the Audi. Yellow is awful though :p

Saw this one in perfect condition in Berlin on sunday for "only" €20000 <3

no idea what that is but id preffer an AC cobra :>

MGC GT

nice car

The S3.

I think all your car choices are chavtastic!

Me? I prefer bikes and mine is the beautiful Honda NC30.

If I had to choose a car though it'd probably be something like a Mk1 GTi with G60 or something like a classic BRITISH Mini Cooper, which are just... mmm class!

i dont wanna drive round in a 20 year old car :<

I like bikes to, but i wudnt know where to start. Plus i dont want to die.

In my opinion a lot of older cars are nicer than newer. Its just a style thing. Doesn't seem to be anything radical and different that catches my eye anymore. Its all samey samey, a bit like "pop" music these days (we live in such boring times, don't you think?)

If they are looked after and maintained well older cars should be relatively trouble free. A new one? Perhaps a German car then - the Audi S3 - that's nice.

Yes you're right there are lots of nice bikes and I guess it depends what type you're into. I personally chose a Honda VFR400 NC30 because they have such a charming look and sound fantastic with a V4 engine and gear driven camshafts.

You will die one day, d3c4y. That is something you will have to come to terms with. On a motorcycle you are quite safe if you use common sense and obey general traffic rules and actually use the knowledge you learned to pass a UK DSA motorcycle test. Take the speed to a track and you will live long and prosper (maybe). :-)

i dont know all that much about bikes tbh, but when i do see one i do go abit wobbly at the knee's when i see/hear a really awesome one go past! :)

and yea ur right about getting killed on a bike, only thing is other people can kill you too!

I don't like the cars in the original post. So I'm going to say that within that class of car my personal choice would be a Chevy Cobalt\Pontiac G5.

Sorry, we have corners in the uk.

?

american cars are well known for having toss handling...

if u wanna drive around looking like a bell-end then get the civic or mr2.
if u wanna drive around in total class/comfort get the s3.u will not be disapointed with the s3 its a drivers car.
i have a a4 quattro btw ...audi <3

wheres the mr2? and ye the S3's alright, but i think i still prefer the type-r (b), mainly because ive not had much luck with my current golf (and the S3 is basically the same, only 4WD and faster)

bah celica then same shite ;p
tbh tho the type r's would feel faster than the s3 if thats wot ur looking for.
best all round car outta ur pics is the s3.
the s3 u would keep for years,the type r i would give u 2 years max then u would want to sell it.

you drive on tracks alot or why would you want to trade comfort for performance, especially living in london which ive heard is traffic/redlight heavy?

i live in leicester, nowhere near the city, ive got b roads and quiet town roads to drive around.

D and E are both great cars.

agreed <3 too!

Great value for the performance, too. By the choices, you're looking to do a bit more than just drive to work, eh? =P

not really lol, i just want a nice looking/driving car!

I preferre CARmac...

fastestest car on earth!!!

wtf is that, a tiburon?

ford cougar

/vomites

And a zx6r for longer travel.

cars suck :-(

I have an A3 1.8T - very nice car
S3 would be even nicer

I have a Golf 1.8T currently.. its had its problems :\

what kind of problems?

Maybe his fluffy dice swung too far back and hit him in the face ? :P

engine and alarm mainly, but its working alright at the minute so im selling it while its good :)

if youre a typical chavvy student first time driver jew then go for the type r
otherwise the audi

Those cars are horrid :/

and your suggestion is ?

i m a Ferrari lover, but ouf of these, i ll take the Audi anyday.

The old beautiful ferraris or the new "Here I come, I am important!" types?

im betting he cant afford neither.

I love them all but my favourite will always will be the 512TR :D ! I like the new ones though i don t think they look cocky or anything. The Spider V8 F1 or the GTB are just beautiful, not to mention the enzo ( a bit overppriced, i admit it)...

renault clio, perfect for a student.

im not a student.

was the question "what car do u like the most" or "what car do I like the most"? :p

it just sounded like u thought i were a student and it would be perfect for me.

no I meant for me :p I'm a student and it answers my needs.

that bentley is pretty insane, but then again ud have to be pretty insane to do that to a bentley!

Don't buy a beemer - only knobs and sales guys drive beemers !

ya i guess ur right, but the one i seen was so nice, and RWD would be sweet :)

it's not until you do an unintentional figure8 in thick traffic that you really start thinking about a non-rwd car...

nothing beats old testarossa

new BMW 3 series ftw!

a car that is silent, doesn't stink, doesn't pollute und doesn't kill people ...

cars are stupid

die hippie. cars arent stupid. only ppl who drools over cars and thinks their penis grows when they got "cool" car :>

if we are staying within the world of realistically achievable cars, I think the kia pro cee'd is a good bet for a young bloke.

fuck the beemer, they all look the same
