ryan lang Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The bocanegra is a 1.4 supercharged, and turbo charged. But they aren't that fast, terrible in fuel, chocolate diffs, poor quality dsg box that has electrical issues. Use oil like crazy and don't corner to well butty had one from new, lasted him 6 months before he traded it in.Oh and get raped by my a GT on hybrid at 0.8 bar The only good thing about them is launch control standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Do these suggestions have to be auto cars by the way ? Serious question as i know youve had a few. If thats the case then get a triptronic R34 GTT as stated above ^^^ My daily is auto, weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I work for a vw dealership and as far as I can make out the bocanegra has the same engine as the polo gti and in all fairness there shit, MOST of them have been back for new engines because the pistons just arent strong enough to take the power. if your thinking of thrashing it about all the time then definatly swerve away from them and incase you didn't know the noise is all fake, they have installed a speaker in the dashboard to enhance the noise << this is on the polo so can't see the bocanegra being any different. The golf gti on another hand, my friend has a 2.0l turbo mk5 gti and its an absolute animal, 300bhp DSG. They can be very nice cars but its just getting a good example, for 10k you can get an immaculate one.Good luck though mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Mazda 3 Mps ! I was thinking that, or a 6 MPS, they can become bloody monsters. Older style ones are epic sleepers too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My mates got one, it's quick, comfy, refined, nice interior, but it's a little bit bland. I can't put my finger on it but it hasn't got the sparkle I like, a bit of mentallness every now and again! lol Make for cracking dailies though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Anything within reason from VAG be it VW AUDI SKODA or SEAT will all be dull and uninteresting ironically similar to their owners........ Edited September 18, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with his screamer pipe.But the mazda 6 mps are 4wdBoth are 2.3 turbo Edited September 18, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Another couple for your list that should hold value, BMW Z3 M (soft top or coupe) or a Z4 3.0/M if you can find one in the price range Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep'd Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Just to mention Road Tax plays a big part depending on year it costs around approx:Mk1 mps £500Mk2 mps £250 Edited September 18, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Drink oil like an RX8 and have a habit of going pop by all accounts, however I've never owned one just going by the general consensus of my mates! 10k is a gooooood budget, I'd saim for something different and lairy if it's a project. Going off my experience of VAG's, theyre all a bit dull. Even my mates Leon Cupra is uber boring considering it's spec. ^ They can be picked up for 5k, and look epic with a lil work ;) ^^ drove one of these while i studied in canada and i got it solely on the sound of the exhaust... this car to me has the nicest tone of any car ive ever driven... it sounds like nothing else ive driven.... absolutely love this infinity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've not regretted my 350z one bit, love it. they arent comparable to glanza, as the big 3.5 v6 don't give that power kick but they do pull well in any gear and speed and are smooth with it so you don't really notice what speed your actually doing.bear in mind 2006 onwards and you have massive tax 480ishi get 18mpg but only do short city driving, much better on open road and long trips.

AndyR Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I've owned my 350z since march 2010. It's had a lot spent on it and i haven't regretted it one bit. In terms of fuel, it drinks a bit but not a crazy amount and beware of modified engines running 400+ bhp as the stock internals are at their limit around that figure.In terms of speed i can't stand people who say it's slow, etc. .... slow compared to what?... an evo 8 fq??!! Go home. There will always be a faster car on the road and if that's what a person is worried about get a grand drag car and stick them the V's!! Just tonight i had a brand spanker m3 playing with me and whilst visibly faster he kept edging me he simply didn't have the road or power to overtake. When you get to certain power on the road there really isn't anything in it. That's just my 2 cents ofc. Good luck with whatever you decide to buy!! You can have my zed if i can find a 1968 datsun gtr! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 ^^^ good luck finding the Datsun mate rocking horse shite is easier to find lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
