Need a brand new, sub £20k, cool car, suggestions pls

[deanogtv]

As the title says really, I have £20k to spend on a daily runner and I'm after something your stick on your 'cool wall'. Can be a coupe or a hatch or saloon, 2 or 4 seats, it really dosnt matter. I'm open to suggestions.

[nottyash]

No sorry.

Unfortunately there's as many different definitions of "cool" as there are people.

Caterham?

[General Madness]

I believe Clio 200's are under £16'000 with a 4 year warrantee

[missing the VR6]

The coolest cars you can buy for that money are the Fiat 500 and the Mini.

Not for me personally but just what the general public would percieve as cool.

The Mrs has just bought a Seat Ibiza 3-door 2.0 tdi FR. With a few extras, the retail was £17100, but maybe look into some finance deals rather than offloading all that capital.

[nottyash]

He said"your" cool wall. This is pistonheads, I can't see many getting excited about a Fiat 500. I can't see anything worth buying brand new for 20 grand. second hand however ...............

Problem you've got there is what is cool. For me a very cool car.

Clio Cup very cool at your local car club meet or track day, turn up for a date and a bird is going to think Clio with a body kit and a rock solid ride, not so cool!

They start at £15K

[Captain Muppet]

996 C2 (or Elise, or TVR somthing, or M3, or Monaro, or whatever) and a brand new Dacia?




Or you could spend some of the £20k on some car magazines so you'd have some idea of what cars you like and how much they cost.

[FisiP1]

Dacia Duster probably.

Plenty left over to buy more cool things too.

[Dr Interceptor]

MINI Cooper Roadster - starts at just over £18k, so space for a couple of options.

[Silverbullet767]

Why with £20k you could buy your very own opinion!

Give us something to go on.... oh, and don't waste your money on a brand new car, get something more interesting second hand.

[smn159]

I've just Googled 'top new cars under £20k' and they read like a list of ste, none of which you would notice in the Tesco car park if you fell over them.

Why not second hand?

[thinfourth2]

You could get an Audi A1 S-line

[Dr Interceptor]

Polo GTi?

[Meths]

LOTUS!

Just about the most exciting car you can get for sub 20k and the average joe will think you've paid 5x this amount.

[kambites]

MX5!

Which Lotus are you proposing that he buys new for 20k?

[OwenK]

If you can find another 5 k you can get into a Ferrari 348.

Or an Audi A1, I suppose, yeah. If you're lucky the budget might even stretch to a Golf (imagine!)

New cars are pants.
