I hope that this does not come across too ponsey but me and the missus are planning a driving trip to France in March. We love skiing, however I given now up the skis and now on a board but she still skis.

 

We want to drive to the Alps and try different a few different resorts on the same trip and so need a car to to take us there, which has room for all of the kit. The cars we have (now 5!) are not good or practical enough so am thinking of buying something just for the trip and then selling it when we get back.

 

Soo.... What should we get?

 

I have said that I am only driving that far if I can have a fun car for driving the mountain roads once we are there, end of, full stop! So not worried about fuel economy, mpg, blah blah...

 

I think it needs to be Jap, fairly recent, and although we cannot get a small sporty number like say an MX5, I was thinking of maybe an earlier Honda Civic type R with a nice ivtec engine in?

 

What suggestions do people have? Budget around 5k ish, and it would be lovely to sell it for the same money (or a little more) when we return...

 

Thanks

 

and No the ZX will nt be ok with rear wheel drive on snowy mountain roads....

An MX5 is rear wheel drive remember, but how about a tidy Nissan Stagea 4WD estate

You read my mind! I have been looking at Stageas for a while, and was going to buy my dad one. Then he said that he thought it was bloody ugly and I kinda agree...

 

Good cars for the money though...

 

I have told the missus that we should just bite the bullet and get me a new Nissan GTR, then I dont have to worry about re selling it as I will keep it.

 

She is going to let me know....:no:

audi S4 avant

just buy some diesel europeon estate, audi, vw preferably 4wd but front is fine with the correct tyres. its the most popular choice for that sorta thing for a reason.

audi S4 avant

 

I'd probably concur there......

 

......and is it just me, or have we had this thread once before......:detective:
