Hi everyone. I assume this is the correct place for this.

I am looking at a new car, so far I have narrowed it down to the following. All sit around the same age (2001-2004) cost about the same ($20k) I basically want to know peoples oppinions who have owned or, or at least driven one. In particular problems with the car. All would be manual, I really cant drive autos and feel 100% safe.

4th gen VW golf GTi - from what I can find out so far, not a true GTi, but a damn good car if you can ignore that GTi badge.

B6 Audi A4 - seen a couple of 1.8L turbo quattros, but probably would end up with a 2L manual, as they have less kms on them.

VW Bora V6 4motion - full of luxo stuff, seem fairly cheap for what they are. Were the fastest VW in Aust when they came out here. With the added safety etc of the 4 motion. That and a bit more boot than the golf.

All have their pros and cons, as above just interested in peoples oppinions. Its all part of the research process.

Thanks in advance.

PS I know its a skyline forum, thats half the point of putting it up here. Hopefully I might get a less bias oppinion than a VW forum.

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
