roast350z Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Ive just stuck the zed up on piston heads not in a major rush to sell but need to get a car with rear seats and decent boot just got back from test driving the renault megane 225 cup and was quite impressed with its pace and ride. But was thinking what other options there are?? I want to spend under 15k so ive got a bit of money left over from zeddy to spend on the house. Was thinking maybe an focus st or evo??? Quite fancy something turbo again, any ideas guys?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagnobito Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 You could always try a near new MK2 Leon, VW/Audi bits without the premium price, and you could probably pick up a Cupra for that price. You might miss the rear wheel drive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 get an evo bud.... there's some MAJOR bargains to be had at the moment... my best m8 just picked up a evo 8 fq320 MR for 16k with 12k miles on the clock.. so if u get a slightly higher mileage car it would easily sit under your budget... ps: his car is as tight as new..... -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont mind the fat bum at the end of the megane, I would highly recommend it. drove one around brands hatch and was really impressed. dont know whats the reliability like though. the LSD gives it almost rear wheel drive like oversteer when you want it to. keep me posted so I can hunt you down the sea front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greido Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I hate taking my cars to get repaired therefore I would only consider German or Japanese cars, the Megane gets very good reviews but I wonder how many of the reviewers would actually spend their own cash on something that will be depreciate the way a Renault does. If you're looking for somethin practical and around the £15k mark, how about a VW R32? - Very nice car and sounds amazing. I think you mentioned that you didn't like Imprazas but I've seen new 09 plate WRXs for less than £14k..... bit of a bargain. If you fancied spending a bit more I've seen 2 year old Audi S3s for £17k on Autotrader. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 E46 330i. You'll pick up a decent one for that money, it'll be as quick as you should realistically need it to be, loads of room, looks good, bulletproof, and a great drive as well.
