I'm getting to excited now....
As soon as I've finished off my savings to buy a house, I want to get another run around, I'll get rid of the Lexus and keep the super high boost for just weekends...
I ideally want something decently comfy but quick, would like it to be 2 door, might accept 4 door.
At the moment top of the list is C63 AMG coupe, then Lexus ISF. Not really sure what else I would like, I really really like the RC F but its stupidly priced at the moment.
Budget is 30k ish have fun...

£30k budget I'm guessing most answers on here will be '60 306s'...

Hmmm. Id use 10k and build an epic car of choice. 30k is a ridiculous amount of money to waste on a car unless you're loaded deposit on another house with all fees to rent that.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

30k budget... E92 M3, R34.. Maybe even an early R35 GTR? C63 is a good shout though. Plenty of decent stuff around for that budget

R35 for the most bang for buck I agree they are awsome, but I really don't want one, I'm weird I know.
RS5 could be a shout I'll have a look at the prices now...

I agree tbh, I don't doubt they're fast cars but they don't have anywhere near the same appeal as an R34. R34 would no doubt continue to appreciate too as they get rarer so not a bad investment.

Any Audi post 2007 will be exclusively driven by a cock. The 2.0tdi by storage heater salesmen, the S/RS by the owner of said storage heater sales company who is trying to impress. It's now garnered the same 'fat businessman' image that Ford had 15 years previous. Or they're being ragged round the Birmingham ring road a 17 year old kid who's stolen his dad's car.
I'd be looking at possibly an older Evora, Cayman S, E92 is in budget... I'd personally be steering away from the typical German stuff on the basis it just looks like you've financed yourself to the eyeballs or it's a company car, but appreciate they're well on the "comfy but quick" spectrum, just personally cannot deal with the image.
Z4M Coupe is another option - IMHO cracking styling and that motor, but do have a bit of a reputation for being a bit of a handful!

Hmmm fair points I agree
Only german car I've ever wanted is a C63 though just the fact biggest production engine made and the sound.
All said though I really despise BMW's I'd have a R35 over one of them, don't really know why don't like them that much I know they are good cars..
Porsche I really like, but a friend of mine (porsche fan boy) in work has just put a order in for a boxster spyder s or something sounds shitty but they look the bollocks. I don't tell him that though :p. I give him shit all the time messing about, so he wouldn't let me live it down if I got a porsche.
Lexus to me are a bit rarer that why I'm considering one of them... but then I'm thinking they may be harder to live with because its out of the mainstream sort of stuff so parts more expensive etc...

I would absolutely hate that... I really like to look after a car I own and there is nothing else worse I could do, other than banger racing.
I would feel bad battering the car to death...

You said maybe to 4 door...

They make cars that are decent to drive and are totally classless, nobody thinks "what a plonker" when you drive past, they're near invisible - I love that.

RS4's and 6's are good options, I want to drive every car but I'd be forever test driving lol
so far
1. C63
2.Some Audi depends on which one I like driving the most RS4, 5 or 6
3. Lexus ISF
4. Some Jap crap

Out of all of them, C63 FTW.
I guess Volvo does have that reputation, but the reality is likely somewhat different these days... I don't drive mine slowly
