It has to be fairly quick, 7.5 secs 0-60 and below preferably. only real thing is that is should have 4 seats
, my fiancee wants a baby after we are married! but i may be able to get around the four seats. comfort i can live with out!

the evo6 was my very first choice, much prefer the looks! but yes i could possibly afford the car but then you have to keep the thing on the road. insurance, tyres etc... I have just about persuaded myself that its a bad idea.
so no more mention of the evo word.

I have thought about the
Cupra R - possibilty for mods + cheapest
civic Type R + quiter like, a/c extra!
S3 not sure, very expensive for the speed
golf r32 not really heard much about this one yet
Keep the ideas coming, i think i need a test drive or two!
Renault Laguna Coupe
Scooby (new model), Megane RS (when it comes out), Clio 172 Cup and spend the leftovers on beer
R32 Golf is at http://www.vwvortex.comwww.vwvortex.com
3.2 VR6 engine puttin around 240hp n 320nm torque (if i remember correctly). Nice recaro lookin leather seats. Xenons . Climate, CD , auto light , auto dimmer u know the usual "auto this auto that" rolls on 18inche of OZs
0-60 around 6.5 or so. Top out at 250kms 6 speed manual.
wutelse.... oh 4 seater but 2 doors

Astra GSI turbo - vauxhall!!!!!! may be im a snob!
Civic Type R - possible
Seat Leon Cupra R - possible
Focus RS - possible, trying to keep the 172 in a straight line is hard enough!
Audi S3 - possible, new ones are better than older ones
Golf V6 4 Motion - possible, still cant work out with such "high" bhp figures they get so "slow" 0-60 times
Audi TT - one word, hairdresser, but i do quite like them!
Lotus Elise (i know) - friend has one, totally unpractable
Skoda Octavia RS (i know) - possible
3 Series Compact (?) would have to be in the 330 area - expensive
C-Class Sport coupe - ????
MG ZT 180
Impreza WRX(£3000 off at the mo) - would have to be the sti, had an imported sti acouple of years ago, new one comes out early next year
How about a Honda Accord Type R, I think it will have the performace you are after and has 4 doors? I had the same problem, the wife wants kids so I needed more space. The CTR has more than enough room but 4 doors would be better. Will be keeping an eye on the new Accord (hopefully they do a Type R).
Like the look of the mazda 6 but not sure about the performance side.
forest how comes u didnt try orderin the Warrender Sti? I feel sorry for you guys in UK u guys get the detune jap cars. We can get the full jap specs here in nz but not those CTR we dont even get any new ones need to import them. but our Evo n Stis are all runnin on 280hp
Actually I like drivin the E7 but E6 is definately the racer type Evos E7 kinda soften down a bit even have sound deadenin hehehe my friend sold his E6.5 Tommi Makinen. I think he might be kickin himself now
The R32 making 6.5ahha yeh but lets not forget that V6 4 motion aint light n adding on a few more kgs in the R type its gonna be heavier... plus They r not using "Evo" close ratio gear box plus the gear box isnt the greatest thing on earth. perhaps thats where the speed is....Still i have a promotional video on it ... the V6 purrsssssss soundsoo so soso good ..... more on par with Clio V6 actaully

Forest,
Were are you ordering the sti from?
I will need the car in the next month, notice period! so I may get something to keep me going for a couple of months or may go for the cupra or civic.
Main reason being a change of house may be on the cards. So i dont think i should go silly on the car front! i must be growing up.
when i start putting things in front of myself

anyone know a cupra (r) website?
custom fleet, i always have my cars on contact hire. Although those prices are plus VAT. But if your not running it through your business (if you own one) then you can have it on private contract hire.
At the minute loads of companys are doin the curent WRX for under £300 per month.
Try http://www.customfleet.co.ukwww.customfleet.co.uk and phone them up and get a price. The figure I quoted you was on the current model. But the new model will be about the same. Its all based on residual values.
