What does everyone think of these? And what one would you rather have?


1) Honda Civic Type R (EP3)

2) Seat Leon Cupra R

3) Golf GTi (the new one)

4) Mini Cooper S works

5) Renault Megane Sport 225

6) Ford Focus RS

given those choices it's the mini cooper for me , but if i'm spending that kind of money i'd much prefer rear drive such as a mustang gt or :clap: cobra .

none of the above, lol.. if i had that type of money for purchase it'd be going towards the excel to bring it into the car show scene.

There not that expensive cars maybe the Golf GTi but the rest are ok certainly at 2nd hand. but cheers for the reply lads no one seemed interested until now.

still, if you were to purchase a gold gti, you could of spent that money on a 4G63 and a complete HKS Forged Package along with a full custom leather interior, new diff/lsd, new suspension, brakes, bodykit and respray.

doin' up a car is suprisingly cheap actually.

Hi :57: ,

Having owned one of the original Cooper S models, I'd obviously be tempted to have one.

For Q ship value, I'd have the Seat.

I've seen one in a street fight, slapping an Alfa 156 and a Vtec Honda(both slammed, wheeled and exhausted) silly.

A point and shoot device on rails.

Cheers,

The original and best Mini Cooper, mate of mine had a K20A engine swap and sequential gearbox, along with lots of other goodies. Hell of a car and if I had the money i'd be doing the same thing.

So everyone a big fan of mini's here. Anyone ever driven or been in the Focus RS
top notch car handles like a dream and a Focus that can actually accelerate for once.

hmmmmm...the mini cooper seems like a neat car, although kinda small...given its size, im sure it moves alright though..i would say either the VW or the mini.

The Civic Type R rocks! If you want a car that can perform really well on a circuit or on the average roads, then you should go for the Civic. It has 200bhp and that super i-VTEC Honda engine! Despite the Leon and the Megane having more power, 225 bhp, they are heavier than the Civic and don't handle as good. None of the other cars would beat the Civic in a circuit (considering they're all stock), unless it had way too long straights where the top speed of the Leon could make some difference.

1) Honda Civic Type R (EP3)

Bleh, it may have power, but it's honda, and we all know that honda = no torque.

2) Seat Leon Cupra R

Not available to Canada.

3) Golf GTi (the new one)

I dig it, big time.

4) Mini Cooper S works

Yay!

5) Renault Megane Sport 225

Not available to Canada.

6) Ford Focus RS

Ford is overpriced here.

Tie between 3 and 4

Yeah the Honda doesn't have much torque, but still it would beat any of the other cars! The Golf is cool but it hasn't the "brutalaty" of the Civic and doesn't handle as well.

How about the Mazda RX-8?? That's a fine car, though fuel consumption is quite high, but it handles well and is very fast! ****, it did the same time as the 350Z and the BMW M3 on Top Gear's circuit

The rx-7 beats the rx-8 in every single way. Way more initial power as well as power potential.

lets see i beat the civic, and i beat the gti. :whistling: so i would go with the mini
:bwekk: :bwekk: :bwekk:

Well, I'm talking about stock cars! And a stock tiburon would never beat a stock Civic Type-R. If you have enough money you can even beat a Porsche 911 with a Tiburon hehehehehe, that would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Honda engine's don't have enough torque, they still kick ****. If you want lots of torque just buy a big V10 Diesel like the Volkswagen Phaeton 4.0 V10 TDI, that has sh*it loads of torque :thumbsup:

MiNi MiNi MiNi :P the Sexest and the Bestst :P dont know the fastest !! LOL
BUT EXPENSIVE 7,000KD = 35000$

What about the Astra VXR?
It may not have the same heritage as the RS or a GTi but I'd be tempted

First choice would be the Mini Cooper S works I love the sound of the popping exhaust, next would be Civic type R.

How about this Renault...The Megane 230 F1

Civic or the GTI

Not on the list but for me in that price range it would be a WRX STi. Of course I don't know the prices overseas, so it might not be in that range. You can't beat an AWD 300hp car off the line and on a road course. Then there's the Evo ...
