Another which car? thread

[Ed Doe]

I've had this problem but even with a hypothetical budget of 8k...

S2k- veeeery snappy on the limit meaning you can't just grab it by the scruff and hurl it down your favourite back road, you can't drive it at 10 10ths cause in the back of your mind you'll be worrying about becoming another s2k backwards into a tree statistic. On that note the insurance is hellish because of the above...

Leon Cupra R - quick but boring as to drive. Too insulated and removed from the art of driving with Traction control sound deadening. The steering also way too over assisted and you get no feedback as a result. I've been a passenger in one loads as a mate owned one, they do shift but it's all safe understeer at the limit and it basically feels like it needs about 500hp more to make it even vaguely exciting...

Focus rs mk1 yes! But still a bit of an image thing with those nor into cars...

Focus St isn't a bad shout, but again its newer, it's about as quick as a 6 anyway, heavier, more numb etc etc etc. I do like em but not sure enough to buy one!

You could try mr2s?dupposedly rapid with the right mods..
