Harryjax Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Hi all My son is looking for a car to replace his civic type R. He's on the hunt for an Astra VXR GOLF GTI MK6 Focus ST So if you have or know of one for sale PM me the details. Thanks. Quote
Keyser Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Meh - you should be sorting him out that old 370z you bang about in and get yourself a nice new 370 Nismo or a Supercharged one - you know you want to 2 Quote

Never mind boot space for Pram or pushchair changing bag and zillions of nappies. Quote
ross27 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Has he considered a Mazda 3 MPS? Very capable car. Oh and if you do have a read on any reviews, do not listen to the crap that is said about torque steer! Ive had two. MK1: MK2: Edited August 4, 2014 by ross27 2 Quote
StevoD Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) just watch out for rust /\ on the first gen mazda 3s how about the WRX-s hatch seems loads cheaper than any saloon to insure or a lander ralliart if he doesnt mind a flappy paddle box Edited August 4, 2014 by StevoD 1 Quote
ross27 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 just watch out for rust /\ on the first gen mazda 3s The only MPS that suffered from rust was the 6 MPS. The 3MPS was manufactured from 2006 onwards. It was the 3's produced between 2003-2006 that had issues with rust. Theres been a fair few Mazdas in my family so im fairly sure of this. My mum has had a 53 plate and a 58 plate. Ive had an 06 plate sport, an 09 plate MPS, and a 12 plate MPS. Not much comes close to the MPS for performance, and certianly not when it comes to value for money. An MPS with light breathing mods will keep up with a 370z from a roll, easy. Quote
StevoD Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 fair few mps3 mk1 on mps owners with rust, its a warning they can do as they wish i love my 3 just for reference great car , mps is known in states as a sti/evo killer Quote
