The cars and bikes thread!

Those cars are just becoming legal to import into the US... I wish I could.

Good examples go for crazy prices over here these days.

Pretty sure I'm gonna buy a polo gti again. Youtube videos have it doing 0-100kph is 6.2 which is fast enough. Test drive in a few weeks when they have it in.

Any other options? £20k limit new or maybe £13k preowned - must be fast and have 4 seats.

Abarth 595 1.4 t-jet 180 competizione
0-60 in 6.6secs.
Good fuel consumption
Low VED

Just add an Akrapovic exhaust

Too small for me!

Nope - 1.2 tsi - the one below it. Takes almost 10 seconds to get to 60 But the gearing makes it feel nippy through town.

I should add that I believe I have exhausted the supermini options and settled on the polo for that. Preowned there's the bmw 135i which is 4.2 to 60 - very quick indeed - and I'm looking into that.

Rear legroom on BMW 135 is tiny and the boot/hatch won't win any awards either.

I wish the porsche cayman had 4 seats! They're very affordable preowned.

Doesn't bother me too much - it'll be very rare that either will be used that often.

He has one which goes in the back seat! Okay - I don't need minimum 4 seats, I need minimum 3. So a mclaren f1 or similar.
