Id like a 182, thought cant warranty paying £11k + for a renault with its known excellent build quality. I would go for the Integra Type R if i could get one not in white in this country as its a car that most chavs you see at traffic lights look at and gawp. The subaru i looked at was too much for me, had a full spoiler, and had the skirts gallore as it was a P1 limited edition, so it would stick out like a sore thumb. Not very practical for driving along the M62 each friday and sunday. I then looked towards the megane, but the modus is bigger in space that a megane. The rear sits split into a weird 2 / 3 seat configuration, and the pull of a handle, the rear seat moves backwards. The boot opens up like a old tranny van, tho some have a boot scoop similar to a minis boot, which i think is cool. The only thing i dont like, is the dash board as its so f*cked up and the ever short from that looks like its missing.
I looked the the new scenic for £12k, but its too big for the gf to drive and would no doubt be smashed up within a week as she would complain that the bonnet required a flag or something to show the bumper...This is why she has a clio too.
I wanna clio 172 (new shape, not poor old shape) or a 182. But only wanna ay up too £10k on a clio etc. The better the car the more i will pay. Im not paying £14k for a clio which is poo, when i can buy a half decent BMW, Audi for similar cash.
Im gonna be putting 16-18,000 mile a year on this thing..also..
