hi guys, at the moment i own a seat ibiza cupra which i love! 225bhp in a light car is fun
but its FWD and i think its time for a change! once i have sold my car i will have about 7-7.5k to play with. would really like a bugeyed STI but am i being a bit too optimistic? what do you guys think i could get realistically?
cheers, tom

either a new age wrx, or a classic sti, depends what floats your boat.
may pick up a higher milage bugeye sti though
the classic is more hardcore, fater, but not as comfortable, the bugeye sti wil be slow, not handel as well, but be a more comfortable ride.
best bet test drive bugeye sti, wrx and then classic sti, see what you like

Ok, sanity check
. Do not buy the cheapest bugeye you can find just because it just creeps into your budget. You're asking for a world of trouble. You've got that annoying size of budget where you can peep over the fence at some quite exotic stuff, but can't quite afford a good example. You also have to remember that although the car might cost £8k you will be paying the running costs of a £25k car. I reckon you could add 50% to the running costs of your Ibiza without any trouble at all. Think, think and think again before you get suckered in by the "Power, traction and you-only-live-once" brigade - they can be awfully persuasive!

Just my opinion and something to think about.
