Kendev 6 Posted October 6, 2014 Now i am looking into buying a brand new car this winter, but i have already decided and configured what it will be. But i want to see what you guys would pick from these options (or add one with a price tag below 30.000€/$) This is an overview of some comparisons i made over various brands and types of wich are in my pricerange/likeing. 1. Ford Fiesta ST 1.6 Eco 180hp Manual - €23.235 2. Peugot 208 GTI 1.6 THP 200hp Manual - €23.501 3. Renault Clio RS 1.6 Turbo EDC 200pk Manual - €29.290 4. Volkswagen Polo Sportline 1.2 TSI BlueMotion 110hp Manual - €21.540 (All prices are with configured options i desire) Thoughts?

Falkerz 1 Posted October 7, 2014 I prefer Ford cars due to feel, low cost of maintenance, reliability and "fun factor" for driving in (even though it costs more for extra features like A/C etc). If you want all out reliability and great workmanship, VW is best. They are so well made, they de-value about half the rate of a Ford (so after 5 years, the Ford would be worth around €3500, whereas the VW would sell for around €5000. This is going by current UK market prices for main dealers selling a second hand car with average mileage (so 5 years = ~50,000 miles), but should give an indication of my thoughts. TL;DR, I like Ford myself (more fun), but VW is better made if you want best reliability. ~EDIT~ I had an Opel Corsa (which was illegal when I bought it) so returned it and have now got a Seat Ibiza. The Seat is built on the same chassis as the Polo, so is certainly something to look into, as it's priced lower for very similar specs.

Are you trying to say that electric vehicles aren't considered as cars? They do have the most torque, so in a race and whilst cruising around I'd rather drive an electric.

Falkerz 1 Posted April 9, 2016 It's not the idea behind the car. It's how the Prius is made. Shipping stuff all around the world, and then building it. They could have at least built a factory in Canada, and just shipped materials in from China. Or even build the factory in China and ship materials there. But shipping it around the world 3 damn times is insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pvt_Braindead Posted April 10, 2016 I just straight up like cars for the excitment of banging gears and ripping corners, you cant do that in a prius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkerz 1 Posted April 14, 2016 Well, here's the thing right. I was thinking I'd like to get a car like THIS (The raw link is about a mile long FYI) which would be notably faster than my current car, mainly due to the removal of 2 doors, the 7 speed gearbox, and the addition of a turbocharger to the engine. It would have the same power output as my Dad's car, except it'd weigh a few hundred KGs less. Also, given my current one handles like a dream, this one would certainly play nice and be fun to drive fast. Alas, I don't have £20K to spend, and the financing would kill me, even if I had the income to support it. Perhaps a toy for when I'm finished my degree and get a decent job...
