Looking at a new car...

[Petrina Polo]

Hi,

I actually have somebody interested in buying my Polo Gti from me. I have been looking around for some time, predominately at an SS commodore.

I took one for a burn yesterday SS, 6spd manual, 250kw, completely stock..

Ive owned one before but I forgot how it was stock as it was modified. They can be a little lazy, but once after about 4000rpm they go pretty hard.

To be honest I dont think it would go better than the Polo Gti to about 100km/h. The little VW really scoots down low and has a stronger midrange than the SS.

So what are you asking?

What to get for a new car?

What do you want out of a car and what will it be used for?

i recon you buy a Is200 lex

get a set of 20's, 4" drop and respray it by 2sus candy brandy wine

I'd say get an Audi S5, TTS or R8, but then I don't really know what you are asking to compare against.

The SS Commodore is a poor mans HSV, go all the way and get a W427 (375kW, 640nm) or get an Audi.

A silver polo gti maybe?

Nope.

Pony up a few more dollars and get an FG XR6T. There's was a very nice ute on carsales for 32k the other day.

I forget what they changed from the BF, but I think maybe intake, intercooler. Not sure if the turbo has changed?

Can i hijack the thread then?

I'm thinking about swaping my polo for a 2000 TT Quattro.

Convince me which way to go

EDIT: This whole thread should probably be moved to general no?

Just pick up an SS / XR8 / XR6T from auction for around 15k, and spend the difference from a near another VW or an audi in making a 9 second bike killer...

P.S. this should prob. get moved to general auto discussion.
