It’s that time again, when I need to start thinking about my next car.

 

So let me know what your recommendations are and why?  Was hoping to get to the Motor Show in Geneva, but looks like it’s not gona happen now

 

So I usually take about 6 months to do my research, look at what’s coming out new and of course get some test driving in before I finally place my order.

    I am a very big fan of little sporty citroens, and havehad  my eye on one of these citroen ds3 sports since they came out.  A little over the top perhaps but lots of fun

    Already had a go in the GT86 ;-) But the RC version. Same car but £6k cheaper due to lower grade unpainted bumpers, steel wheels and hardly any luxuries inside including trim.

     

    Ride is the same between the RC and Road version and overall a real nice car but does feel a bit dull as the same time. May have been due to a different diff setup. Still felt a lot better than a 350/370Z! Its pretty much going to appeal massively to the modifying scene.

     

    Subaru have their version of the GT86 since it was made in partnership coming out next year which is the one I am looking forward to seeing but wary that this will be their introduction to the RWD market. Still may take a test drive on the road version in the next few weeks once I get my invite.

    I just think it has a nice look to it, also, I would have to go for all the “luxuries” ;-)

    "Luxuries" like pink fluffy dice, nail varnish holder, extra rear view mirror to check make-up, babe on board sticker on the back window, etc. etc...

    Anyway, the brochure for the Toyota GT 86 arrived this morning and I think I'm in love

     

    And I thought what we had would last forever.

     

    Does that mean I will have to remove the Rich/Faith sticker from the windscreen of my Robin?
