what car should i get next

[Martin172]

thinking of what car to get after my Mk2 172 (not for another 6 months though).

a couple of things:

1. Think Id like to try RWD.

2. I live in Australia

3. I like refined cars (i.e. no way Im getting a V8 holden!!!!)

let me know what you think.

tbh at present i am thinking honda S2000.

cheers Martin

Ford Falcon V8?!

What about a 350Z? Or a Clio V6. There the cars that most often get mentioned and compared on here.

Or a Z3M, or M Roadster? The Roadster IMHO is awesome, but i understand its a car you either love or really hate.

350z

rx7/rx8

s 2k is a cool car tho

Z3M is rather nice.

HOLDEN MONARO feel that bhp b**ch!

sorry for the delay - been off work.

just couldnt stomach the brute nature of the ute or monaro - they really are heavy heavy unrefined brutes - totally opposite to the 172/182!!! know what you mean about bhp though and also the sound of the v6 or v8!!

was thinking about the 350z - but theres something a little lardy about it imo.

test drove the s2k over the weekend and although it looks nuts and sounds nuts they only get the 2litre version here in oz and its a little low on torque low down in the rev range.

starting to thinkwhether i should go for an evo 8 now........ if only mitsi or subaru did a 3 door - id be sold. they are pretty unrefined though.

arggggg - im still no closer to a decision!

 

[JJ!]

s2k just won the top gear survey result! uk version is a 2litre too!

 

[homerjay]

thought the facelift model was a 2.2?
