POLL: Which Car Should I Get Next?

[chrissn89]

VW Golf R - Neeko test drove one and loved it very sharp and responsive handling and suspension, stock for stock rated it higher than his 2011 WRX
VW Scirocco R - Great engine but i would take the Golf R as its AWD
Civic - Only if you interested in high reving screaming engines
Veloster Turbo - Very little head room, in your face styling i like it. Alot less power than your used it.
MPS 3 - Great all round package, factory LSD, makes big power factory and very quick in gear.
WRX Sti - Excellent car over kill for a daily drive more suited to a track to take full advantage of it power/handling and AWD.
Mini Cooper JCW - Only ever passengered in a cooper S and it was very fun but i have heard some horror stories about the engines.

If money wasnt an issues my pick would be the Golf R, but best all rounder and can be picked up fairly cheap would be the current gen of Mazda 3 MPS

EDIT: Test drive a 2012 WRX, just with a tune and intake they are a very quick car. Interior isnt what id call flash tho, but then you buy a wrx for the driving experience.

golf, mps or wxr would be my pick of that bunch. wouldn't even bother looking at the others.

Soft spot for anything MPS. So the 3 is my pick. Although I've never driven a new WRX

VW Scirocco R and then Golf R. I prefer the Scirocco to the Golf as it has some presence about it, particularly when lowered. The Golf R, IMO, looks too much like any other Golf.

Pity you can't handle the steering wheel (it's not bad) otherwise the RS250 for sure..

Next preferred is the Scirocco R, then Golf R...

Don't get a DSG.. takes away quite a bit of driving enjoyment.

Don't get the Sat Nav, VW overcharges, you can retrofit an OEM one for around $1,000.

If specs for the money is a consideration, the JCW shouldn't be on that list!!!

Anyway, best thing to do is drive the cars and see what you prefer.

Drove em all, loved the feel, uniqueness and the attention of the rocco. Golf is too common, despite its AWD advantage. JCW is an absolute hoot! Feels like a gokart, but can't live with the speedo being the the middle...
Didn't drive the Megane, but it being Motor mag car of the year should clarify enough about that car, plus it killed the rocco and focus rs on fifth gear's review.

Oh yeah, $2500 for a sat nav is overkill alright. The worst option on VW's list is the moonroof which can't even open up lol only tilt to allow air in.

If I buy the MPS, 1st thing i'd do is to replace the front bumper. That smiley face would get to me at some stage lol.
WRX will beat MPS on outright pace and handling, but it's worlds apart from the MPS in terms of interior feel & class.

Thanks mate, but with that kinda money for 5kW/20Nm more, losing two seats all just for tracking, I'd be getting a lotus elise lol.
Nevertheless, these little buggers turn corners like no tomorrow. I remember when my mate took me in his bog standard cooper S, took a 90deg bend at 70-80kph without braking. I thought we were gonna roll to death!
