Not keen on the idea of a bike, my girlfriend wouldn't appreciate it

What are the ground rules, I'm guessing you have an age limit and mileage limit, always a good starting point to go with your budget. Otherwise your just going to get lists of knackered old skylines and impreza's with 4000000bhp for £2995 ono.
I know alot of people won't agree but instead of laying out 4k i'd finance up something a year or so old and have an easy life!
I'd like something no older than 2004. Mileage no higher than 60k
Not interested in an Evo or Impreza (yet) will wait till I'm 22 'till I get onto the 'big boy' stuff
Nor do I want the monthly installments paying for a new car, got enough of that already.

#20: Re: Do I get a 180? Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:25 am ---- TBH I'd stick with what you've got, save some more money and get a few more ncb's under your belt.
Then i would look for something really nice!

But I'm bored of my GTi
I've got 2 years NCB & it doesn't really change a lot when I get 3.

Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:33 am ---- Not to be argumentative but where do you draw the line with 'saving up for something nice' in my experience everything i want is about 2k more than i want to spend then when i sort that 2k out something better is another 2k more.....never ends if you take the 'saving up' route. Hence why i finance everything! your capped each month then regardless
#23: Re: Do I get a 180? Author: Locky, Location: Newcastle / PlymouthPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:44 am ---- If you are bored of your gti, then the 180 option doesnt seem a sensible choice. They arent exactly gonna blow your socks off and its fundamentaly the exact same car. I was pretty underwhelmed with a 180 and i drive a d-turbo!
If you think your gti will give you a few more years hassle free motoring, then stick with it - you have invested cash into it so recoup your expense through usage, as you wont be able to sell it for more. I think if you 'have' to have something different, change manufacturer all together.
#24: Re: Do I get a 180, or something else? Author: G1ggs, Location: WiganPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:03 am ---- Bit more to pay and a bit more mileage but it's not a bad motor. Seat Leon Cupra 1.8T 20V
#25: Re: Do I get a 180, or something else? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:07 am ----
Thats not bad!
I've just been looking at S3's but they're a bit too thirsty & for one with a lower milage the price is too high.
I've never driven a Seat Leon Cupra but I've heard alot of good things about them.
#27: Re: Do I get a 180, or something else? Author: Quarmbo, Location: Bristol & LeicesterPosted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:23 am ---- Me too.
I have to question who said a 180 is essentially the same as the gti. I've never driven the 180 granted, but having spoken to lots of people who have, they have all said there is a world of difference between the two.
I like the 206, so will be going back once my gf has finished uni/I get my promotion *touch wood*. I had a V reg Gti and it was brilliant, I loved the look of the car and for the budget I would have in mind (same as CD's - £4k), there's not much out there that can get you a similar car for a similar price. Maybe a 182, but I've heard terrible things about comfort and legroom for us bigger boys!!
#28: Re: Do I get a 180, or something else? Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:25 am ---- The Clio is able to achieve much better mpg for anyone who's interested!

Apart from a few extra horses and no spare tyre it is - isnt it? Maybe a few more toys too. Certainly not enough to relieve gti boredom for more than a couple months surely?
Plus my main point was stick to his current motor if its fairly reliable. Last edited by Locky on Tue Jul 27, 2010 9:32 am; edited 1 time in total
