Chop the RS-1 in for a 182/CTR? Or wait for the RS-3? Aghh! Advice!?

[GarethM]

keep the RS-1 untill the RS-3 comes out and then decide

 

[Christopher]

Wait for the new RS3, test drive at multiple dealers to get the feel for more than one of them, then decide, then order, then wait, then cherish, again!!

I couldn't sum it up better myself David lad!!

:approve:

yeah keep the shed chris...you said me and tom could test drive it when we come for the meet up north...lol

in all seriousness..i would never buy a ctr as they are common as sh*t..the 182 would be to similar, if i had the money i would go for the rs3 on looks but i dunno...perhaps sell the shed and get a mint hybrid or williams...lol

 

[Christopher]

tbh mate, if i was going to change it would be for a newer car. i like the safety of warranty. lol

more than likely i'll buy into an RS-3 this year. just looking at my options that's all.

I would love an MkIV R32 Golf as well, but you have to be minted to run them

 

[Nafoff]

yeah was joking on the idea of a willy mate...warrenty must be nice

 

[Christopher]

my first new car was my Dynamique...

Had it from new and i loved every day i owned it for. More so than my RS-1. Even if the RS is vastly better.

I miss owning a new car i guess. lol

i better get saving some wedge then...

I am in the same dilemma. Although after seeing the price of the new RS I cut that out of my options. There is no way I would pay over 16k for a clio. So I went to test drive a CTR and liked it but the new one is out next year I think and the new shape is awful. So whilst in the Honda dealer I asked about a S2000. So I went out in that too. It was awesome. My advice, keep hold of your car and go for test drives in cars you fancy. I was going to get a new Focus RS because I get a really good Ford discount but i'm glad I didn't order it after going out in it.

If I was you then I would wait to see what comes out and what turns out to be good, there seems to be alot of good cars around the corner at the minute. If I was to buy a car now it would be a VX220 :evil: rear wheel drive handles like a go kart and some good mods even for the non turbo!

 

[Ali]

why would you want a 182, yours is far nicer and faster? Stop being a Pernickety little sod and enjoy it!

For my money I'd buy a 'runaround' (more comfy than a vx220) and a westfield/caterham (quicker and more fun than a vx220). The VX is just too middle of the road - impractical but not quite raw enough...

 

[Mr Melon]

For 12k you can pick up a mint VX220 2003 model spend £1200 at http://www.regal-shop.co.uk/asps/ShowDetails.asp?id=5347 and get it up to 170hp which works out at 195hp per ton :evil: unless my maths are wrong

the 2 car route wouldnt work because of running costs (2 insurance bills and tax etc) and both cars would be old and rubbish unless you had 20k+ to spend.

 

[miketheman2k]

Fair enough, but I couldn't live with one as my only car, as nice as they are.

 

[Richy123]

2 car might work for insurance because admiral now allow you to insure two cars on the same policy. If i hadnt experienced the gorgeous honda engines I'd go for a used ctr whilst waiting for the new rs clio. There are hundreds of ctr on the market, there must be a bargain out there somewhere.

this is true.

thanks Ali.

if you talk to me that way all the time, i'll be your b**ch anyday sweet cheeks.
