Golf MK5 GTI ED30

thats what i had before and i do miss the power, i had mine with revo stage 2+ and it was a monster at 335bhp but as has been said the handling is crap although H&Rs helped. Only thing i would chop my clio in for now is a megane trophy or a 135i but i wouldnt want to modify a car again, its better for me to have a good car how it was intended.

 

[SarGara]

It depends, are we talking a new car or a used car as a replacement?

Used i would like an S2000 but the insurance puts me off so i would end up looking at TypeR's i imagine. New is a tough one but based on prices i think id probably look at a Swift Sport for some hatchback fun.

We'll keep the dc5 as a hatch car. Else you would need to rule out the scirocco and megane as well for being coupes. I think it would have to be the Mini GP. Supercharged so sounds great and timeless looks. Still looks fresh today.

the swift sports are crap imo. Test drove one before i got my clio, probably better on juice though...

Mk6 Golf R or Audi RS3 Sportback for me straight outta the box. Or a Polo G40/turbo for modded/older car.

Thats why i said new and price. In terms of a new hatchback i think the Swift Sport is one of the few in my price range, VWs are just silly money and the Corsa is well... a Corsa.

Mk6 Golf R or Audi RS3 sport back .

You must be minted, they aren't cheap, lol.

 

[clio200cup]

I'll be selling my 11 plate cup next year. But I won't be in the luxurious position of choosing a nice car like that again. Going to need to buy a ****e boring one. Getting out the Army so bye bye disposable income!

 

[nick200]

id probably throw the ibiza cupra or FR into the mix then if your on a budget for a new car. Still id rather have a 200.

 

[K155 NEB]

Mk4 or mk5 R32

Or

Civic ep3/fn2

 

[nick200]

but they arnt new...

 

[brightside]

ah right sorry didnt notice within same price range and no im not minted haha i wish.
Was just daydreaming about thats what I would have if i was buying a new car, because I'd end up never getting rid of it. I dont do new cars.

Lost enough money on this thing... lol;/

 

[inwardnoise]

Well I've had 106 and 205 GTi so most probs after the clio a mk4 r32

 

[tiababy]

Prepare to be rinsed for petrol worse then the Clio does with the R32. I've read that some owners have trouble getting 25mpg out of it driving normal.

 

[nick200]

plus they dont feel any faster than the clio 0-60 is pretty much the same because they are so heavy and it maybe "4x4" (haldex or whatever) but it handles no where near as well as the clio.. no way would i swap the clio for an R32!!

 

[nick200]

if you turbo'ed it and spent a fortune on the handling then maybe..
