SirMixalot Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_300zx Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_300zx Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 see i was gonna say celica mikey but i forgot they was 4wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steams Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nissan stagea rs4 had one fast as fook 4wd skyline engine very good car and there estates Yup, that's what I'd have :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam D Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside01702 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) How about this beast...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mitsubishi-GTO-Coupe-3-0V6-4WD-4WS-SUPERB-EXAMPLE-/321198265055?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ac8e892df Edited September 5, 2013 by veilside01702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 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: Quote I have something to say............

stellaZ Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 If ya want fast and comfy, audi s4 b5 avant, or as richardsmith said, any audi a4 or a6 quattro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02pmal Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The legacy B4 twin turbo are great cars, try for the manual though, or Galant/Legnum VR4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acraig Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just to be different have you considered one of these?? Ultra cool but not jap or German :lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-LAND-ROVER-LR-90-4C-REG-GREEN-/221289977834?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3385e917ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02pmal Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think those Landy's cost even more than a jap car to run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acraig Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 True but he's laying his zed up for a bit, so fuel costs balance out :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02pmal Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
