time for a new car?

[rene]

well i've owned my alfa for about a 12 months now and like all other cars/bikes i've owned i get bored of them after 12 months sooo what do i go for now??

i've been thinking of somthing like this-

Clicky

since i've now got a 4x4 as well i dont need pratical for everday use i just want somthing fun! I've also been looking at the VX220 turbo, MR2 turbo (much cheaper to buy whats nice!) RX7 ect. Down side is it wont fit into my company insrance plan so i'll have to get my own insrance again so thats another 1600+

so what do you guys recomend?

i'll still miss the old girl tho

not really my thing tbh, i want somthing very small and nimble, not just a wacking powerfull engine.

Plus at 19 insrance company wouldent come within 1000 miles of me!

i hear that tvr reliability aint as bad as they say. i think they run cam chains rather than belts that cause probs but just like a bike, so long as u keep em maintained they will be ok

A Ford Focus RS manages 169bhp/tonne and a Honda Civic Type-R 166. Not even mega-money specials like the VW Golf R32 or the Audi S3 can touch the little Nissan. Performance figures for the standard car are 0-60 in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 143mph

Have a read of this review http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/ca ... 03675.html and see what you think

I cant see that sunny doin 0-60 in 5.4 you know, but still. a recon a lotus exige is good for a toy but to be honest @ 19 insurance for any of the cars mentioned here will be a thing for the future i recon 2k +++ you got the bike get a car thats cheap to nsure then your laughin. 1 series BMW they are bringin out a new turbo diesel soon that will run 0-60 in like 7 secs an i recon that will be insurable under company policy 2.

a gti-r will do 0/60 in 5.7 sec trust me my mate has got one and it pea's all over m3's it will do 120mph in about 10/15 sec
well that's what it feel's like. it's a 2.0l DOHC turbochared 4x4 little monster that is very aggressive pin's you in your seat and keeps you there if your not careful it will give you whiplash LOL and i'm biased as i love it But it's like marmite you love it our you hate it.

not small and nimble but youve got to love them http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-Ford-Mustang ... dZViewItem

hmmm 5.7 secs is more realistic than 5.4 but im not sure you know they only have small wheels you need big fat wheels to make good use of the power the new astra does 0-60 in somet like 6.2 secs an thats maxin out 230 bhp or somet but is front wheel drive, so that sunny is as fast as that evo on the other hand. it is possible thoe i guess needs bigger wheels thoe. but nice car an the performance is as good as a modern car costing 20k plus.

as for the GT nice car but you wont win no races cos you will be watchin em go by as you fill your tank but you dont buy em thinkin of that haha i love the GT40's thoe.
