Hey guys,
I need help deciding what to do.
I'm 18, but I need to think abut what I want to do in the future.
When I turn 21 I can either get a 2.0 206 GTI and mod it to f***, or I can get a Toyota GT86.
But I also have to think about my life and whether I want to put a deposit on a house. I'm really confused because no matter what, I need to start saving up now.
Any advice from the older members?
Thanks,
Jord

Personally I would just save some money every month up until your 21 then see what you need to do, if you need to move out then use the cash for that.
Or may be try to consider a cheaper car that's a good all round that you don't feel the need to plow money into.
I took a big loan out to get my first car and tbh I regret it, it would have been much better to just save the money then get a car.
Oh and trust me, having your own house is better than having a fast car......having both is also good though.

Sod the house mate, your only 18 so enjoy life.
you'lldef have more fun in the gt86 but you need to consider the insurance. You could easily afford the gti and do some serious modding for the cost of the gt86, either that or choose a different car which is just as good as the gt86 but half the costs

There are a lot of cars around so don't limit yourself to just a 206 or a gt86
When you are 21 things like m5/ m3 /rs4 etc will have come down in price and become affordable as they already have done.
Just save as your taste may change when your 21

My brother's got the VW Scirrocco and I've wanted the GT86 for about 2 years now so we can race and that. But I'm now thinking about modding a GTi to s**t and p**sing all over his Scirrocco aha

I'm guessing I should just save up as much money as I can, then decide when I have money saved.
Thanks guys!
