Hi All,

I'm in the market for a new car but struggling with inspiration on what to get... car history is a Fiesta ST then (and currently) a Civic Type-R FN2. We've recently had a child so need something that is family friendly but it won't be the daily family car as my wife has an Evoque.

I love the sound the civic makes even though it's not the fastest car it is a lot of fun so I'm looking to retain the fun element but have a car that I could take for a long road trip too.

Looking to spend £30-40k.

At the moment I'm thinking along the lines of the S or RS Audi estate range...but posting here for suggestions please!

Thanks!

Chris

Sorry for not replying sooner, I tried on Friday but was unable to as I'm a new member and the site was blocking posts from new members due to a site issue frown

Thank you all for the suggestions!!

Seems like the C63 is the favourite but I don't particularly like the look of it...however, I'm going to test drive one anyway to see if it changes my mind!

I managed to test drive an RS4 Avant B8 yesterday and absolutely loved it, naturally aspirated V8 sounded great and it drove like a larger version of my FN2! Haven't managed to find one on autotrader that is the specification and colour I like yet - this would have been the right colour/spec but it's already reserved: http://www.alexandersprestige.co.uk/stock/7529202-...

I will also check out the new Type-R as it seems to be quite an upgrade but as it's brand new I'm not sure what the availability will be like.

ZX10R NIN - what did you not like about the M3?

md4776 - I've also had a TT Roadster as a 2nd car for a while too but sold that on Saturday, so I'm sort of consolidating 2 cars into 1 better car for me but still family friendly.
