Right folks

 

Am laying up my Zed until next summer since ive now moved to penistone which sees a high proportion of snow and ice. Im going to use the wife's car and i was thinking of getting her a cheap yet groovy used car - she's upgrading from a panda so should be happy with most things.

 

four requirements:

 

1) gotta be cool

2) Preferably Jap / German emginering

3) HAS to be 4wheel drive

4) max budget £3000

 

Any ideas?

 

Was thinking of a circa 2001 TT coupe but they are the second most unreliable cars on the road!

Nissan stagea rs4 had one fast as fook 4wd skyline engine very good car and there estates

OOOH now that is a great reply - hadnt even thought of one!

 

Let me know if you think of any others im checking auto trader now!

Going on the fact you want German or jap and if you want fast or luxury because you can get 90's audis dirty cheap or if you want 4wd the likes of the Subaru legacy

see i was gonna say celica mikey but i forgot they was 4wd

Nissan stagea rs4 had one fast as fook 4wd skyline engine very good car and there estates

 

Yup, that's what I'd have :)

I say Stagea, love those!!

 

Mitsubishi Legnum/Galant and Subaru Legacy are pretty cool too, don't know much about reliability though.

 

Not much choice with German 4wd, suppose it would be an Audi of some sort

How about this beast......

Celica GT4 is a good choice - or any Audi A3 or A4 Quattro; they did the 4x4 with a few engine choices in the range I believe......

 

.....or one of these...? http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/606198994/volkswagen-golf-hatchback.html

 

If you can meet the fuel bills:wink:

 

Richard:flowers:

If ya want fast and comfy, audi s4 b5 avant, or as richardsmith said, any audi a4 or a6 quattro

Got to be an evo 4 for me

The legacy B4 twin turbo are great cars, try for the manual though,

or Galant/Legnum VR4?

More votes for the Galant VR4's and Celica's..

Id go Subaru or Evo 4...

Back from hols - thanks for all the brillinat replies!

 

Ive got some googling to do on all of those suggestions...

Impreza or evo

 

legnum vr4 2.5 V6 turbo. yes please.

Just to be different have you considered one of these?? Ultra cool but not jap or German :lol:

I think those Landy's cost even more than a jap car to run!

True but he's laying his zed up for a bit, so fuel costs balance out :lol:

But i do agree, very cool motor, I was lucky and drove round a 110 defender for work and it was loud, cramped and old fashioned but very cool!
