Dude, I know they are expensive but im telling you the fun that they give you, no other car can come even close. It was a real head turner but like I said before, that might be because of my good looks. I am not saying they are the quickest because of course the wrx sti is but just for unique driving experience they are the best. BTW, THERE IS NO CHANCE YOUR 206 is quicker or handles better than a 2007 mini cooper r56s turbo dude!!!
I dunno i heard xr6 turbos were pretty fun. Also lotus elises, mx5s etc. There are lots of fun cars. My car is pretty fun too. Its basically the same car as a mini? It is less than 1 second slower to 100km/h and it doesnt have a turbo. P platers cant drive turbos man. My 206 would be faster than a non turbo mini.


anyway

My list of new cars you could get for $25k

  • mazda 3 maxx
  • honda civic vti
  • mitsubishi lancer cj es
  • subaru impreza r
  • dodge caliber sx
  • isuzu dmax (good ute, get one)
  • hyundai elantra slx
  • honda jazz vtis
  • suzuki swift sport

i thought u were talking about the convertible 2 seater 206, the gti sounds appealing but
1. its a hatchback
2. manuals only
3. it reminds me of some big mouthed fish when i look at it from the front
1. Hatchbacks are awesome. What's your problem?
2. You don't drive a manual?
3. Lol, I'll pay that.

1. Hatchbacks are awesome. What's your problem?

doesnt even look like a fish :mad1:











more like this >:-(

yeah peugeot 206s look like this >:-(





Edit: um if i had $25k i would get the camry the polo or the liberty. maybe the alfa 156

if you have your mind set on a coupe then ther arent many out there i guess. the audi a4 sounds like it might suit you though.

Hatchbacks are eminently useful and very sexy. Then again, I was raised with Saab hatches and I have one myself, so I may be biased.

And if you can't drive manual, there is no point in getting any of the cars you listed. At all.

Well maybe not so much the BMW, but certainly with the Celica (seriously uncool) and the RX8, you won't be able to drive them like they're supposed to be driven if you can't drive in manual. Also, shit fuel consumption.

Get a Fiesta XR4. Im driving one atm and they are pretty sick tbh. Theyre fairly quick and are fairly cheap (about $18-19000) plus they definitely stand out. Look them up.

No its not a normal fiesta. The xr4 is a modified version and is pretty quick with pretty good power: 110KW 2L engine. What don't you like about it love?

The fact that it's a Ford, and thus the build quality is so shit it's not worth the money for a better engine.

An engine does not a car make.

This.

New fiestas are seriously good and old fiestas were also fairly good. XR4s are great value for money. Dont listen to kway about build quality, most cars these days have pretty good build quality regardless of where they are made.

XR4s are more like $24k though i thought. A normal fiesta (good car) is around $15k but the XR4 is a fair bit more. Its manual though. And a 4 door hatch. Not really what you're looking for.

You guys in the peugeots and minis get heaps of looks because you are guys driving chicks cars.... Older mini's are for both sexes, new models are chicks cars all the way.

Minis used to race against mustangs in the 60's and do pretty well too, simply because of their cornering ability, handle like bloody go karts.

Personally im not really into them, and IMO there is nothing special about that peugeot...

Whoever suggested a Honda Jazz, wtf.... seriously.

:p

How are any of these cars "chicks'" cars? What defines a "chick car"?

Agreed about the Honda Jazz though. Ugh.
