I'll be getting a new car in the very near future and I felt it would be between the VXR and ST. Until I looked at some others and now I don't have the foggiest clue I know Graham has the MPS, and Ben/Mase have had the ST and Ollie ejaculates at the sound of VXR and I think AJ's brother has a K1? But I need some opinions on these and what would you pick! More importantly, why? Don't give a toss about MPG btw

It'll be an ace daily driver that Shell can also have a shot of. Plus it'll be reliable so won't have to continually drive my motorbike that I shall also be getting shortly

Tbh though, they all sound boring and common, Seat and Mazda being the exception. I'm not saying the
civic is amazing or uncommon btw. Before ojc and ben start threatening lips off
There are other cars out there that I think yousy gave overlooked

Not driven any of them so my opinion doesnt really count, but I would choose the vxr purely on looks, although the renaultsport meganes are quite nice.

Boooooooooo, i picked robin is gay purely because robin is a rather gay name! Never driven or been in any of these cars eck so i cant really say anything helpful here. Although i have a new found love for red astra vxrs. Dont like the arden blue,silver or black one. Nurenburgenhasslehoffen edition perhaps?

Depends on how much you were thinking of spending.
If you were spending a decent amount of money I'd probably go and get a mk5 Golf GTi tbh.

I'd look at the megane R26 as well. I sat in one at the weekend, black, with black leather, brembo's the lot, looked very nice.... But out of those I'd go with either the MPS, just because you can suprise people with the performance or an ST, especially one that has already been chipped, intercooler, exhaust etc.. A fair amount of car for the money, and the sound....well.....
I really need to get this keyfob camera working and do a vid of the mongoose exhaust....

Mazda 3 MPS, after being out in both a 'Burg and a 3 MPS the Mazda seemed alot faster through corners and felt more powerful, the 'Burg just seems like a kick in the face when you floor it.

You forgot to add "That are quick" Nah I want something that is reliable...
*And Shell can drive. It'll distract her from the motorbike.
