What car will you get next?

[TameRacingDriver]

I've got a Puma now to save money. Its great fun, but I'm already thinking of its replacement.

The low cost option are:-

MR2 Mk3 (2003 onwards) - poor mans elise. Love lightweight cars now for the handling. Mid-engined and RWD = Bonus!

E36 M3 - The choice for sheer pace and soundtrack as well as GT style comfort.

More costly option:-

Elise - Like the MR2 but on steroids. Realistically, a 111R might be the best I can hope for, but is the early one a better drive, even if slower?

TVR - Of some description. For the noise, and drama, mainly.

E46 M3 - See E36, just better.

Any thoughts on the above?

What car do YOU want next? What do you have now? Why do you want it?

I miss RWD so my next car will be one. I'm not a drivetrain snob though, Puma has been hilarious. Mainly that for me, but I miss the noise of my 6 pots, but I also miss the handling of the RWD stuff. Not bothered about having both but an MR2 Mk3 with a V6 might give me that and for less money than some other options

An estate (I need the boot for work) thinking 03plate 2.4 Honda Accord with a £3000 budget

[okie592]

My dream car is a focus st with mountune but my head is torn for the £13 grand it can cost me I could get masses of better cars, I've narrowed it down to

Volvo s60r
Saab 93 turbo x
BMW 330i e46/ maybe strech my budget to a e90


I feel I will go will my heart and get a ST.

[PieterLOL]

Currently a Fiesta ST150 ... nice as my first car and good fun + practical for everyday use.

Next car will be a company lease probably/hopefully, don't really care what it is since most of them are not interesting anyway (or at least not until you have a nice budget to play with).

Next car to buy will (have to) be a TVR Tuscan Mk1. Quite simply because it is and has been my dream car ever since I've seen the first picture of it. I don't think there's a single thing I dislike about it and would like to run one forever.

Currently got a V8 M3...but really want another TVR, the M3 is nice but lacks drama.

[Fidgits]

E92 M3...

Which I pick up Monday

Because I've just had the sensible diesel for the last year, and I missed the v8 and the performance, but wanted something I could use everyday...

[Heathwood]

Might change the Golf tdi for an Octavia vrs. Oh the excitement

[Wills2]

Currently got a e92 m3, maybe the new M3/4 or an old (but mint) e39 530i or a RHD diesel G wagen or a 997.1 GT3 I know that sounds a bit strange but I'm mulling it all over.

Bascially it depends on how much money I've got!

[Mr E]

Another large family estate to replace the Aero.


Given modern buying choices, almost certainly derv powered with an auto box.

[nicegums]

after a short while looking at new cars and not having the nerve to bite the bullet I'm now hankering after an e39 530i but ill probably end up going for a mk4 golf tdi.

[DanielSan]

Depends on how much cash I have at time but I do really want something V8 powered.

[juliethotel]

I'm selling my P38 Range Rover and my Alfa 145QV soonish. Replacing them will be either a Fiat Coupe 20v turbo if I can find a nice unmolested example and an 98 era XJR, still undecided between the straight 6 or the V8. The S2000 is a few cars away yet

[carlove]

A similarly boring diesel, probably another German.

I love the idea of the GT3 Wills...it doesn't get much better than that!

[PeteSBC]

Had the Monaro over 2 years now and keep thinking about a Honda NSX but the prices have really rocketed with them!

[whp1983]

Currently e92 m3..... Next 911 turbo.... Then strap myself to missile and fire myself down a1 to work!

The dream car Cerb! But at the moment they are too much money even the first gen 997 are around 55-60k still, it will have to start with a 4 and have and OPC warranty so I'm dreaming!

I'd have another C2S that's a good car too and probably more in the ball park.

[TNH]

Really fancy a Mini JCW.

It's your life, however:





ETA: My next car kind of depends on my next job. It might be any one of 5-ish exciting cars, or it might be a wafty diesel-y barge/estate. Or i'll forget about liking cars and get a Golf

Currently have a Saab 93 diesel estate. Still about a year and a half until it is paid off.

Would like a Subaru Legacy 2.0D SE estate but that's probably a while off.

Would alternatively like some form of toy, but that would also be a while off.
