chris_m Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi guys,After having to sell my beloved lupo gti just under a year ago due to debt and never fully recovering im after something a little 'special' again!I loved everything about the lupo, especially the feeling after getting out and wanting to get straight back in again for some more fun, I want that feeling again so im after advice...Im looking to spend no more than £12k and only using it 1night a week and the weekends as i work and commute to londonThe shortlist is in order of preference:1. VX220 NA - Hopefully in lightning yellow2. Audi TT 2253. Civic Type R4. Clio 1825. Another GTI, but I fancy something differentWhat you lot think? I know a few of you have gone from lupo's to vx's, where would you go after a lupo GTI?...... its not as easy as you think!chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Nice choice of cars there mate.I'd say for fun factor value for money you should go for a clio 182.Even thou you get some issues with electrics and the engine management system.A friend bought one himself for 6k and he loves it.Even after owning a VR6! or maybe a lupo GTI with a 1.8t conversation ? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_m Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I've driven the 182, its quite pokey and felt really solid on the road, the only downside is the build quality and the interior, then theres the depreciation to consider! As for the 1.8t, all that work and not a lot of return kind of puts me offI think i'd prefer to get something thats standerd, not really big on modding these daysThe VX is still the number one and Im 99% sure thats where im off to nextI was just interested on where people have been or plan to go after the lupo reallyAre there any member left on here that have gone to a vx? I'd love to hear some experiences, I heard the rattle a bit, probably the major thing putting me offconsidering what I was used to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kariba Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 How about a 3dr Mk4 Golf 1.8T? You would have alot of change from 12K and if you went for a 180bhp model you wouldnt be short on thrills. Build quality is impeccable.Stick with VAG style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> PS Seat Leon Cupra R has 225bhp...
