rtbiscuit Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 i kind of prefer the more retro looks of the mk4 r32, and its a bit more grown up than the ep3, will have to go do some test driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I like the look of the mark IV R32 but I've read in various places that the heavy V6 engine ruins the handling and a GTI is better. Although I think they stuck the GTI badge on a variety of cars for the Mark IV so you have to be sure to get a proper GTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 i like the idea of the 4wd, it was good in the mk5; will have to go and try one, will gain nothing through speculation. also toying with the new seat ibiza cupra alfa mito cloverleaf abarth 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I think the mk5 is supposed to drive a lot better than the mk4, but as you say you'll need to drive them to find out. I've got a friend with a mito but the 155bhp one I think rather than the cloverleaf. He really likes it but the back isn't very comfortable (I am taller than average though which doesn't help) and I'm yet to read a glowing review about the way it drives. Have you tried a renaultsport megane? They're supposed to be really good to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Having a rumble with the 370 and RS on track in April, with a 1/4 miler Top Gear style drag, my friend seems confident it'll give the 370 a doing £50 to Help for Heroes from the looser though Hope you've got that £50 ready You can match it if I win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If your looking for maximum available space in the car then I would recommend having a go in a Saab 95 Aero. 250-270BHP, lower insurance than the Z. They drop their value like a stone but the bonus of this is if you buy second hand you can get a 3 year old one or thereabouts for buttons and if it wasn't for the fact that I no longer needed the space I would still be driving one to this day. Standard suspension is too soft for the performance but plenty of options in that area as well as tuning. If that isn't a way out there suggestion I don't know what will I bought a 95 Aero which was due it's very first MOT with 65k miles on it for £7,500!!! sold it when I bought the Zed 3 years later for £3k with 140k on it, only problem I had was headlights wouldn't turn off about 6 months before I sold it, only way I could get them off was pulling out the solenoid. Turned out wiring loom had came loose from bracket and rubbed away one of the wires to earth the headlights feed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
