As I get very bored with cars very quickly i change them every 3 months. So do i keep the GTI 180 or go with my other 3 choices, a astra soft top - 2.0 turbo? old shape but brand new, a lotus elise or a scooby wrx sti - test drove one pushin 400bhp at only £8000.

If your into moddin stck with one car but if you really want to change go for the scooby.

your 206 is a nice car, but if your wanting to change your car then i'd say go for the lotus or the impreza, simply because their so much better than the astra.

I was going to get a Lotus Elise. I wouldn't touch a Lotus, (well I might touch a toyota engined one). Have a test drive see what you think. They're very awkward to get in and out of with the top on. They leak...alot. Not much equipment (that dosn't bother me that much to be honest).

They feel very much like a kitcar, very raw, noisey. All that being said, they're supposed to be top of the tree handling wise, I have heard alot of people slate the handling...no idea why, the early ones are very prone to oversteer, which I'd think was a good thing, maybe that's what puts people off...

The Impreza...well...you can't get much better bang for your buck, they're very fast, reliable etc etc. Best thing of all very modable.

I'd knock the asta in the head...the Scoob and Elise are proper sports cars (from different corners of the driving spectrum)...the Astra is just a normal hatch with the roof cut off and a quick engine bunged in wink

At the end of the day it's your call laugh

There is a Scooby in the garage in Neston you might know thats nice for about £8000 pushin 360 BHP apparentely looks mint though...

I hear the VX220 is well ahead of the elise, even the new one. If all you want is a fun drive then get one of them!

Or how about a Subaru Legacy twin turbo? it's fast, different, comfortable, fun to drive, and it'd look great as a touring car!
Posted By: saz2004 Re: Car Decision - 24th Jun 2004 12:25pm
yes ive heard that the vx220 is better that the elise!
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Car Decision - 24th Jun 2004 12:39pm
scoobys are fast, look amazin n can pull birds for ya!know what im sayin gazz wink

There also a lot more practical like, ud be able to fit ya weekend shop from tesco in the boot haha
