I want a new car, and yet i don't know what i want. I know i want a turbo. I want to start saving up the pennies but i don't know what to save up for. If i decide now i guarantee i will have changed my mind about 50million times Love Daves series 1 and would love and escoss rs. Also want a corsa turbo and the list goes on.
Just thought i would share and look to CS for guidence

I do keep coming back to Golfs. The thing is when i stop at melissa's the car is on the front. I would love an rs but would dread leaving it on melissa's front. A newer car would over come this for sure but would i still pine for one?

Thats what i am saying Fad, if i could garage it whilst at her house or even park on a drive and cover it then it would be Escoss no doubt. Reason for a corsa LET is because i have done an XE and would love to LET one. Reason for a golf or summat newer is due to parking at night.
Do you see where i am coming from???

I know but its a Cossie!
tbh I would never own a Cossie or RS unless I had a garrage as insurance would be insance to have it on a drive

Have never considered a cossie as they are a little out my price range. The insurance wouldn't bother me as such, as long as it wasn't stupid.

Tbh mate, if you're thinking about a Cossie...Then Golf GTi's etc aren't in the same league For the price of a good EsCos you're talking Evo/Scooby territory!

And he will say he misses the fun factor of the Corsa a lot...
Just rember I made a horrific mistake and bought a car because it looked good luckily this time round i strcuk the jackpot as I went with what an Evo rated car and couldnt be more pleased.
Its all horses for courses I guess but I love the thrill factor of a revvy car with a good chasis over a whale with too much power to the front wheels tbh.
Only way you can be certin is to drive as many cars as you can.
Mk5 Golf GT I had for a while was quite nice so can only imagine the GTi must be a cracking car!

Ahh S1/S2 will break unless you buy a good one, went to bromley pagent and saw an original S1 with 152k and still on the original turbo
Be easier to buy a mint S2 though
