You might wanna invest in some leathers still.

[Da Luv Doc]

So the Fiesta ST debut at the Frankfurt motorshow as a concept, which means next year it will come out.

1.6l turbo, 40+ mpg, 180ps, 240nm torque.

Them will mean a win!

Will buy brand new, will draw for the leather chairs & all the mod cons.

[LevelLouie]

justin what are the main things to look out for when buying a car?

[Da Luv Doc]

Second hand or brand new?

ATM I'm looking for power & high mpg.

[LevelLouie]

second hand whats a respectable mpg power, im a noob atm

[8BALL]

Currently driving a 60 plate Polo

Fucking great car

Car of the year 2010 aswell

Kicks the ass outta my Mk5 golf

Looks great aswell

Depends how old and petrol or diesel.

I don't know about Diesel, I find them boring compared to petrol but will have high mpg.

Why?

In which ways is it better than your mk5? It's a nice car but still is a girls version of the Golf.

[8BALL]

You ever driven a brand new car bro?

The drive on the new polo kicks the shit out of my 04 plate Golf, this is to be expected tbh.

Dont get me wrong I usually hate Polos (older models) but this one is a dream to drive.

Plus all aspects of the interior kicks the shit out of the mk5, which is terribly basic

Got a shed load of features in this car too which just makes for a more enjoyable drive

New cars > > >

[Hideandseek]

can't really compare a new shape polo with a old shape golf, mk6 golfs are nice

saying that, bluemotion >>

[Da Luv Doc]

The new b-class shape that Vag group are using are really nice (bar the Fabia). But the Seat Ibiza, Audi A1 & the Polo are looking nice!

The Ibiza looks the better out of them all. Was considering getting the Cupra until the Fiesta made its debut.

Do you lot have certain mileage figures that will just instantly make you run a mile when searching?

Obviously i know it depends on the car etc etc, but out of interest, what is yours?

Depends how well they've been looked after. You could get cars that have 150,000 mileage and still be running good, or you could get cars that have 30k mileage and be worn out. Look for service history, timing belts, full services, oil changes/transmission fluid changes etc.

Cars now days are reliable, and parts can be purchased for quite cheap, just make sure you avoid dodgy back street garages and go to independent garages with good reviews.

[Yung bawse]

he knows that mate but he was asking what milage puts certain people off...if there was a 150k car that i knew was in tip top condition i still wouldn't buy it because it's done 150k miles... some people just get put off by certain things..

mines prob 79k and under, don't like anything over 80k but obviously if you haven't got much to spend you have to compromise

Its down to preference. Although a car with 150k miles with a good engine might sound good, you also have to remember that the suspension, sub frame, gearbox, interior trim, seats and steering wheel has endured the same 150,000 miles so won't look pleasant unless ofcourse they have all been replaced.

[LevelLouie]

anyone got tips for getting the theory bit down for the the test?

[TALLWAH]

Get the dvd and practice, also the highway code book.

[Yung bawse]

i done the dvd soo many times when i done the test i knew every answer just from looking at the answers (didn't even need to read the questions)..got 100%...found the dvd quite fun tbh every question that came up i had already done atleast 10 times on the dvd

[Yoshie]

Theory's easy man, took me one whole night to learn it.

Some people pass with really little revision.

Still not worth not passing though, spend a weekend reading the book / dvd and you'll be fine.

[LevelLouie]

im bein lazy when i flick open the highway guide i feel to sleep ill get it down by monday no shortcuts

[Seymour Cake]

probably a e90 bmw convertible 325. but would have to stretch a few more bags for that.

other whips:

golf r32

bmw e46 m3 (wouldn't really look twice at one on road though)

or save a few bags and buy a low mileage highly spec'd out golf mk5 gti (2.0T)

[Seymour Cake]

Cousins selling a 57 plate 320i fully m-sport'd out hardtop convertible

the REASON why he is selling it is because its too fucking slow.

i've driven it myself and it is so slow, overtaking takes the piss.

thats why i would only buy a 325i or above. I couldn't live with the fact that I have no power under my right foot.
