I'm looking to change my car, which is presantly a 4door 4wd Isuzu so come on give me some ideas. Got to be less than a mill. The current short list is
Vtec Honda Jazz:-
Pro's- cheap to buy, cheap on fuel, 115 bhp so being a little car it should have some go and as it's a hatchback it's pretty versitile.
Con's- A bit small, I've heard rumore that they might be bringing out a new model soon so could hit depreciation, posibly a little dated now, lack of ground clearence, some big holes in the roads here sometimes
1.8 honda civic(new model):-
Pro's-I like the look of it, 140+bhp, lots of toys, roomy, pretty good on fuel, the wife want's one, comfertable
Con's-Expensive, ground clearence same as jazz, not that versitile, the wife wants one.
Toyota Vigo 4door 2wd
Pro's- versitile can basicly do anything, roomy, good resale, 160 odd bhp, makes it drive like a car, a bit light on the back end for good cornering, sturdy with good ground clearence even with the 2wd version
Con's- Its still a pick-up trying to be a car, a bit bulky in town, everyones got one, not that cheap
Nissan Triton, more of less the same as the vigo but with a bit more power and a bit uglier.
Now if this was to be my only car I'd go for one of the 4door pick-ups no contest, but I've got a pick-up for the farm and my brother-in-law has a nearly new vigo, so anything involving carrying "stuff" is pretty much taken care of. We do a lot of milage, my Isuzzu at the moment is terrible on fuel (the vigo uses about 30% less) so keeping fuel cost down is a big help.
On less practical matters I tend to drive pretty fast and like a car with a bit of ooomph, although I am happy with my penis size so there no need to suggest and red psudo sports type cars so any sugestions ?
