MOTOKO Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 But the image How could you stand to be seen driving around in such a thing? x It's not about the image. I came up with the Focus because a lot of people have said it's a reliable car and cheap to maintain and the Golf again because of its reliability but also because I love how they feel to drive, not based purely on looks.

helibish Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yep its petrol, It's a joke. If you like walking or catching the bus lol buy a focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTOKO Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'd definitely go for a diesel, would have to be at least a 1.8L. I'm funny with cars, I don't like certain gear sticks and the clutch has to feel right for me.. Golfs tend to feel just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptowngirl Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 1) Get a Citroen (sp?) Saxo - £1500? 2) Lower the suspension - £150? 3) Black out the windows - £50? 4) Fit a 200db boombox stereo - £200? 5) Fit a huge rudeboy exhaust that shakes the foundations of nearby buildings - £200? 6) Drive round North Sheffield and pickup a couple of trollops, then take 'em out for fish & chips, a bottle of white lightning and a snog in the back seat - £10? Total: £2110 (est) Still got £890 left for insurance and tax, or picking up another couple of birds Would you really want anything to do with the sort of "bird" who would get into a pile of crap like that?

Smack Jack Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Id buy a BMW E36 328i Coupe Sport, and spend a little doing the water pump, stat etc. Great looking, rapid car that should only appreciate if looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ad men would have people believe that Skodas are essentially VW/Audi but they are far from it, experienced mechanics I know say they just dont have the same build or feel, that said the Octavia VRS is a nice motor.
