Default What would your next car be?

my EU WRX is coming to the end of its 3 year PCP so was wondering what to change it for. Ideally I suppose it would be a high spec EU STi but if I can't afford this what alternatives should I consider
WRX
Golf GTi
Astra VRX
Focus ST
????

The new STi is gonna be about £2000 cheaper than was first stated, so why not go for one of those?

25k sounds like a good price if you thing that a Golf GTi is 20k

I've just traded in my 2005 Golf GTi for a GB270 saloon. The Golf Is a great car. Fairly quick, and handles well for a FWD.

I just couldnt resist the temptation back to the world of scoob!

Hehe - just winding you up.

My car before last was a 330d Sport - not bad with 204bhp and heaps of torque, but didn't feel like I was driving it unless I was a minimum of 30% over any given speed limit, so it had to go before I did anything stupid.....

What about not in a straight line? how do they compare to the scoobs? I have read that they can feel a bit boring to drive but people say that about scoobs as well.

If I had the cash... and a big budget for servicing ...my 04 WRX Wagon would be out the window for RS4 or the new RS6 Avant.

When I win the Euro Millions on Friday I'll be up my Audi dealers to place an order. It'll be my week day car

Sqn Ldr.... out
