Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

[emts]

well a MX5 would have met most of my requirements...but no hope in hell of me fitting

[UNR33L]

Ford XR5, cant go wrong they're mad. Can sound like a mini v10 too. 

[emts]

no cruise 

[Count Grantleyish]

So thoughts on a cheap daily
the ute is just using too much fuel and is impossible to park inner city
 
im thinking 10k but needs to be a bit fun
so turbo manual and not fwd 
 
but it still has to have cruise as my commute to work does involve 100km of freeway
cannot be thief bait  else would have got an r or s chassis
 
im leaning towards a g4 liberty gt or a g3 wrx
 
what are some other thoughts
 
(sorry to ask car question)
 

Golf GTI

[emts]

no way in hell am I driving a golf

[Count Grantleyish]

Fun and rwd under 10 large that isn’t a thief bait is nonexistent.

Get Golf GTi

[emts]

but golf......i'll take the wrx over one any day.

[Count Grantleyish]

Add 5-7 large and get a 86.

[emts]

too slow and too...yeah

 

add 10 k on budget and I can get na G3 Sti or a 135i

but got better things to spend my bonus on

[Count Grantleyish]

Yep, spend your bonus on Golf R

[Leroy Peterson]

Yeah I think the fiat would be good. Mx5 fastback looks great (especially widebody) but can't argue with turbo

[emts]

So to translate

 

the 3 suggestions are

Fiesta st

golf r

fiat 124

 

all of which are past what I am looking to spend plus I only fit in one

 

better results than I expected on here

[Kinkstaah]

Megane or Clio will beat all of the above.

But cause car racist, get a polo GTI, the older manual only ones. Cheap, clean, nice, worse than a Megane in every way (cross shopped both) but perfectly OK for daily duties.

Comes pre-modded for your enjoyment. Technically not a golf.

[Count Grantleyish]

Megane RS is decent little whip.

Perfect if you want to stand out.

You would fit the fiesta and the golf for sure.

There's a white 2013 one on car sales for 13.5

Also, you forgot the golf gti suggestion.

88e did an advertising push yesterday and did a trading halt today till the 12th. Good news or bad?

[Leroy Peterson]

Probs a nothing announcement.

I still think Lexus IS250 is great bang for buck second hand. They mid sized and punchy. Why does it have to be turbo? Modern NA cars more fuel efficient and faster than the turbos of yesteryear.

[Count Grantleyish]

Because turbos are fun.

[Leroy Peterson]

Because turbos are fun.

None of the cars that come with them suit Martin's taste. 

I still think an auto JZX110 is the closest thing you'll get. About $5k or more less than manuals.

So I like forced induction as they easier to play with, I don't want a stock car, never had one never plan to.

they also give me the great fuel economy on freeway then lots of go in corners.

(Think i used to get 6's/100km from the S14 when dailing it then still came to the track and had a blast)

Been driving a NA for way too long and even one that has what 180kw just does not feel the same as a turbo rush, and with a 4L and 4 speed gear box..fuel economy is....average.

 

so small zippy manual forced induction under 10K and not a golf.
