Default choices to replace S2000

If I sell my S2000 over easter, I will need to replace it quickly.

Here is what I've narrowed it down to.

1. New golf GTi
2.Focus ST
3 Audi A3 2.0T
4 Skoda ( Don't laugh ) VRS

or left field choice second hand RX8 230bhp

Whats the general thoughts, any one got one of the above any feed back etc.

Regards


Colin

Take it you need four seats?

Golf for me then.

Focus is chav,Audi good but bland,Skoda looks old and RX expensive
to run.

All my opinion of course! Russ.

Talking

We just bought an 06 Audi A3 2.0T Sport FSi Sportback as the family run about

Was also looking at the GTi but found the Audi just had more class and better put together, plus it's just as quick without having to shout about it.

Still only done 700 miles so not really run it too hard yet, but it's certainly very quick and sooo smooth to drive, handles great too.

Some great suggestions

M3 my wife woulds shoot me, she hates BMW drivers with a passion

The scooby and EVO again are great, but I think I need to have a hatch.

The 147 GTA is a good idea but they seem to be few and far between. Great engine though.

Focus St is the best there (in your choices) but you'll wait a long time for a new one.

Golf is probably your best bet if you're really after a new car and the depreciation it brings.

If you need a hatch, and like the scooby then get a scooby wagon PPP.
