Barring the r8 I think the scirocco might suit in the right colour to hide its big bum

They are actually quite cheap gad, an 08 is between 10-11k..
Bloody ugly though

I quite like the look of them in a pug/ugly duckling way

I like red ones (rare) and white ones

If the driving experience matters you should definitely try one

£10K isn't much and resale is likely to be easy

i floated that one and got a resounding 'No. I've had the bloody vectra for years, i want something sporty'
she means only in looks of course as she drives like miss daisy

the Golf GTi or GTractor would suit i think or the golf in a fancy frock (scirocco). she also likes the FN2 civic but i'm not sure how good the diesel is and the type r is supposed to sit on it's bumpstops in terms of ride comfort

French cars.. I had one once and it was put together with gaffer tape by a small child

Or at least it felt that way. They could drive wonderfully but i hate tat and they always feel like tat.

I might get me an M3 CSL and give her the S. Would have to nudge my budget tho
