What would YOU rather choose?

[NXA-16H]

Here's a question for you Boys n' Girls...

Considering the very real spectre of Holden replacing its future Opel Lineup with whatever trash it can substitute from Daewoo, I can't help but feel alot of you would do exactly as what I would do. And that is purchase a realistic alternative to a Barina, Astra, Vectra...whatever.

So, I've put together a little poll with a choice of similar sized hatches that are on the market at this moment. They may be a tad expensive, but Hell, I can't think of anything else. :(

So what would YOU choose?

If there's any model that I've missed, tell us about it.

Results should be interesting.

vw golf mk v might come into consideration

[YuSuF]

Focus, closest thing to an Astra :P

[Mitch]

For the price of the Astra, I'd rather a VTII SS Commodore. :)

[Vectracious]

Would have to go Focus - lets hope Ford Aus just puts some decent engines in them.

[OPC]

VW R32 too expensive but what the hey

[Anonymous]

When/If I get rid of the SRi, I'll be buying a Either a Audi A4 or Volvo S70R.
Ya gotta go bigger to match ya head ;)

[imad4u]

Pug 206 GTi 180 :twisted:

[Degen-Astra]

[blackSRi]

C3 such a good buy, but yeah where's the Peugeot 180GTI 206, whatta beast!
Is is just Euro (import) cars then? otherwise Mazda SP23?

[Mrs T]

My first choice would be an audi A3 or A4 (if i had the money i would get an S4 :wink: ) or an SS commodore

[rjastra]

How about the Citroen C2 with the 130kw 2L engine out of the 206 Gti 180... Yes... reportedly out next year!!

[Mr T]

Hands down....

....has got to be an Audi :wink:


But on my budget...

....a second hand one :bang:

[dazza015]

Id Buy the All Wheel Drive Focus RS Turbo.... But we will never see it

Id buy that concept Fiesta RS Hot Hatch.......But I doubt we will ever see it.....

Would love an Audi RS6...... But wouldnt have any money left for anything else....including food.

If Holden stops using Opel....or if it continues but doesnt bring the Astra H Turbo..

(Gets Ready for a Flaming)

I will buy a BA Mk2 XR6 Turbo 6 Speed !

[em]

Mini Cooper S

meeee tooooo !!!!!
great taste...
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

or a vw turbo bug :wink:

[blackSRi]

Dazza, an XR6T was my choice when I was due to replace my Astra SRi in June this year, but lack of 'standard' items - options and high cost (2 times the SRi) meant I kept the Astra - if you have the cash I guess....

[Seus]

the ladies love the mini so much
i can tell from experience ooOOOOoooOOO

shame on your for who ever voted A class/smart forfour/anything other than the 1 series

Actually Seus, I was the one who voted for the Smart Forfour, since I had the pleasure to test-drive one recently.

I'd also invest in a Smart-Fortwo for city driving if I had the brass...So european...So sexxxy! :P

If you ever travel to Europe and witness for yourself the hot european chicks driving these cars, you'll surely know where I'm coming from. :P

Salivate over the pics below!...

I like the Smart Car Roadster (aka convertible - it's really a cabriolet) - gets the chicks in France :wink:

No, not that one...
This One...

When I was travelling around in Europe in July/August, I would play a game with my co-driver while driving or walking thru town - spot the Smart car!!! or Opel Astra with body kit, SRi or Coupe.

Also, I withdraw my vote for the C3 - I meant C2 Sport - it rocks!

[raymond]

the coupe look to long

[Seus]

they are all old men that smell who drive those cars

[Miss Beep beep]

Yeah either vw
or wrx sti :lol:

[NUTTTR]

Audi S3..... Mini Cooper S...... VW golf TDI.......
I wouldn't touch a ford focus, sat in one, would rather of shat in one.....

:twisted:

[woody]

From the Astra 2.2 Sri i could only go up...

Would have to buy a second hand Liberty B4 or Audi S3

(iknow the B4 is bigger but jeez do they fly!!)

[Pharkus]

Bring on the BMW M1 Should be around about $80k max hopefully.

By the time I save up for it my Astra should be clocking up about 200,000 km's

[Vinnie320]

Other: Alfa 147 GTA (too pricey?)

[Pharkus]

Why not Golf R32? Same sort of range but 4wd

[rjastra]

Mini Cooper S... no way

Mate has already had a new gearbox and a new supercharger and the car is <10k Km old.

[woody]

the cooper s is WAY too expensive for what you get - if you want the performance pack (the john cooper sports pack) you'll end up paying the best par of 65k for a car that gets ripped by many many cheaper cars.

[agent69]

A WRX. :lol: Just stirring. :lol:

Well, I chose the 1 series, considering the rest are all FWD (not a big fan of FWD :wink: ). Pity there is no options of bigger engine than the 2.0l in the 120i.

But the M1 would be nice. Considering that M3 is $130K, the M1 should be sub $100k.

Ford F350 :)
