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.

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc. 
    • Races cars don't care for VIN either...
    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
