Straightforward poll. A few points to note:
1) If your car is discontinued then pick the nearest new alternative, e.g. Sierra Cossie = Focus RS.
2) If your car is discontinued and there is no new alternative, e.g. Toyota MR2, then go and find something else to do.
3) Forget the financial implications. I can smell the burning as PHers cogs turn and they realise that they can say "I would swap and then sell the new car and buy the old one again and have loads of money", or something similar. Pretend that fuel is running out and it's for your last week of driving ever or something.
FWIW, I wouldn't swap my 993 C2 for a 997 C2. Prefer the feel, character, noise, looks, and effort involved in piloting mine.
The floor is yours!

The Audi A3 yes at a drop of a hat I would swap it for the newer version if it didn't cost me anything, why not I imagine there wouldn't be much difference appart from a warranty and 70k less miles.
The Mini no thanks I will stick with the classic I had a new cooper and its not the same as the classic.

No, I wouldn't have a 370Z:
- design is too fussy
- the synchro rev thing is just a gimmick! Why not learn to match revs like a grown-up?
- it's not much of a step forward in therms of power or performance
- the interior build quality of my car is pretty s
t. I wouldn't take risk of assuming that the new car is much better.

Yes.
Golf GTi mk2 8v -> Erm, Golf GTI?
Why? Everything fking rattles, the rear screen doesn't work, the bumper has bits of badger on it (RIP), the rear OS wheel is buckled, it kicks up blue smoke in the morning, it's got bits of badger stuck in the grill, the lights are held in with gaffer tape, the rear end of the car is about five inches lower than the front, the topmounts are loose, the wheel bearings are noisey, the paint is peeling on the bonnet, the exhaust is too noisey and every fker either assumes I'm a boy racer or drives about a metre from my arse. Fortunately I can't fking see them anymore.
So for that reason I'm oot.

Can we have an option for those with multiple cars?
I'd swap the Jag for a new XJ but I definitely wouldn't swap either of the Beetles for a new one (or a Golf).
I'd like the increase in mpg and size as well as losing the rust of a new XJ.
New beetles are just st in every way.
