Driving around Europe what car
Discussion
I got drunk last night while out with two mates, one who is having a stag do in Munich in June and the other I've been throwing around the idea of a Euro road trip for a few years and ended up on via Michelin planning a route to Munich. We also said we'd tag a week into the back to explore and not have to face the prospect of a cross continent drive with a hangover.
It then got me thinking of what car I'd choose. I've been somewhat between cars for a few months after a £500 150,000 mile polo tdi I bought as a stop gap hasn't died and it's ended up a joke in the work car park which I quite like. I may even keep it.
The question is purely hypothetical, more in the fact I currently have no idea of budget rather than I may not buy a car. I will be getting a car for the trip. What should I get for say £5-10k, it may be a higher budget but for now I'm just interested at this level until my finances are more sorted (currently going through a breakup).
My car history has been far more Colin Chapman than muscle car, I've always fancied an Elise and would still have an mx5 if I'd have done the seat mod and fitted in it. That being said, I looked at Nissan 350Zs a few years ago and recently got rid of an F30 330d both of which I loved so I'm not set on one type of car. What would you do it in for between £5-10k?
