Ideas for a new car

Right we've got a Astra SXI 1.6 on a 02 plate looking to trade it in on a newer car but what
Few rules for this game maximum price is £6000 Similar size to the current car It can't be a Subaru unfortunately no group 20 cars no big German barges either as the bint can't drive for toffee.

toyota avensis
toyota verso
vw golf
ford c-max

there you go

If I had that list to choose from I think I would just kill myself!!!

Get yasel another scoob man, you know you want to, get a uk version, only group 17

lol
they're not the bad
well the first 2
he said no scoob so i gave some idea's

Fook it mate get another subaru

Kind of daft question in here really spend less on the car to help with insurance, simples

Insurance fuel and tax rule out a scoob plus she hates em.
So come on sensible ideas looked at a civic type r but did nowt for me

Get her a run about (small) use the rest to buy yourself something decent

Hey what about a Scoob in sleeper mode: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201017357961937/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-age/up_to_4_years_old/model/forester/make/subaru/radius/1501/postcode/dh77fe/page/1?logcode=p

Bet the insurance or a 2.5 Turbo Forester is nowhere near Impreza insurance as its an SUV and boy racer types and car theives dont go for SUV's!

Loads of cheaper ones as well but thought that I would put a newish one on to get you tempted back into the Subaru's.

PS> Parking sensors to front and rear help the wife parking it!

Ok my fault i should have stated in caps the car is for HER i've got a van at the moment for work so that i can save my pennys for a shiney white Hawkeye spec C

Golf diesel
Seat Leon
Ford Focus

Basically, any Eurobox. If it's going to be your lasses car, has she any thoughts??

Yep, that's about the score when the criteria involves a woman's input

Seat Leon Cupra - understated and easy to drive for her, bit of fun for you.

Octavia Vrs, fast, spacious, and pretty dam good on fuel. Or I have the Audi 2.5 if you want to go sleepersville, been all over the country yesterday looking at cars for my mates younger brother, and I got 570 miles out of £65!!!!! Worked out at 49.6 mpg, not bad for a 2.5 quattro!

Leon looks interesting octavia thinking outside the box there well done steve never thought of a skoda might be to big for her though will have a look

Same floor plan as A VW Bora, was she ok with size scooby, if she was then you'll be ok with Octavia. Loved mine and when I sold it made a very health £1500 profit!!!!!!

Well if its for your lass - cheap insurance, cheap tax & 50 odd mpg. How about a pokey little shopping trolley like this 100hp Diesel Polo: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201017357607778/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/6000/price-from/4000/model/polo/make/volkswagen/radius/1501/keywords/gti/postcode/dh77fe/page/2?logcode=p

I have the 105hp engine in my Caddy with a tuning box puts out around 145hp. Damn quick for a little van. So in a smaller car like the Polo even quicker. You can do a cheap resistor mod on the fuel temperature sensor which will overfuel at higher revs & boost upto an extra 40hp.

Well visited every dealer in the north east today or feels like it and shes decided she likes 3door new shape Astra's i guess if we find a decent tdi it can be fettled with to produce some more oomph now just need to find a red/black/white one that's a 1.7/1.9/tdi until she decides on something else the morra

i've got a mk1 focus on a 2001 x reg with 35,000 miles for sale if its any good to you

If you go for the 100hp 1.7CDTi the best you can get with a tuning box etc is going to be around 120hp & 290Nm.

If you go for the 120hp 1.9CDTi the best you can get is 144hp & 330Nm.

But if you get a 150hp 1.9CDTi you can get it upto 180hp. Fantastic torque for an Astra diesel - 375Nm.

These guys are based in Stanley (I think) and well respected for their Vauxhall diesel tuning boxes amongst GM performance clubs etc.: http://www.tdperformance.co.uk/cars/vauxhall-tuning.html

Nice one thanks mate think the 150bhp model looks like a winner

The Leon is such a boaring car. Unless you get a Cupra R. Had one never again.

Fabia VRS Very fast and nice but the Seats are just horrible

Octavia VRS very nice and basicly as said jut s a Bora/Golf

Used to love my Leon Cupra - not in scoob terratory but a good little daily driver. Entertaining in the wet
