damoking Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi, i was in exactly this position just before Christmas. Loved my '06 R32, so much fun but in my case i needed something a little bigger to put the mutt in the boot. not sure your age and what your circumstances are but i went for a 2011 S4 Avant and it is probably the best thing i've ever bought in my life. Still have the V6 3.0 grunt with a nice whirring supercharger hiss too. handles beautifully even though it's an estate and it'll eat R32's, S3's, Sciroccos for breakfast. Also it's far easier to tune up than the naturally aspirated R32, with some jigging and poking you can take it from 333bhp to 430bhp with little fuss.. happy hunting!

Woppum Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 No idea of budget ?My 2p on the ones suggested: Megane 250/265 RS. Best FWD car I've ever driven, really goes like stink, well equipped too. I had one at Bedford and loved it. But... it's French, and I'm quite sure it will be 'spares or repair' 10 minutes after the warranty expires. Abarth 500. Makes great financial sense, they look ace too (in the right colour), but the driving experience is a bit bouncy and the power delivery is a bit old school. Golf R. You'll be comparing it's 4 pot to your current 6 pot, and you'll be disappointed by the lack of character, I reckon. No idea how they drive and they're rather dull to look at. Astra VXR. It's 1987 again ! Let's go joyriding in an understeery thing. M3 sounds good, but we don't all have Wopp's budget for new (er) stuff, the 335 (petrol) looks fantastic and had a RWD advantage over the rest. Focus RS, I like these, a lot. Thought about a MINI of some type ? Used Evoras are utter bargains at the moment, worth a look ? I would... But an e46 can be had for under 10k if you want a milage heavy one, 20k for a really good one, 25k for a csl or lite air for an e92. You don't need to buy new, will cost little more to run and be miles more fun. Trust me I've been there with the rocky r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm kind of with Sam on this one.... a M3 sounds good option providing you can run it :D Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
