What's going to be your next car?

rocky · 09-07-2014 1:08pm #1

in 1.5-2 years time, mine will probably be another 5 series (have a 2005 530i atm),

2008+ E60/E61 530i/545

or

F10/F11 535i for da chape tax

(Or if the OH gets her way, a CMax diesel :rolleyes:)

Probably difficult to find one with a spec I'd be happy with...

jca · 09-07-2014 1:10pm

Groan..... Another brag about my BMW thread

Sobanek · 09-07-2014 1:14pm

Would honestly like an E65 7 Series as my next car (2005 if possible), but it's most likely going to be an E90 320d.

celica00 · 09-07-2014 1:17pm

I wouldn't take a kettle as my next car

Kidding, they are not too bad ha

Moneymaker · 09-07-2014 1:26pm

I'm thinking Honda Accord.

What a Knob! Mine will more than likely be a bicycle.

leesherwin · 09-07-2014 1:29pm

Audi A7 may be they next car in a year or so

Will that be a E45 or a E90 or a E, whatever those buckin E's stand for bicycle:D

ofcork · 09-07-2014 1:31pm

Not aiming high but would love a 2012 avensis hopefully next year:)

As am I. I am in no way ready to move away from the Integra just yet, but I loved my 98 Accord and a newer model will be the first car that I look at when I do go to change.

PirateShampoo · 09-07-2014 1:32pm

Mazda RX 8 PZ. I just need to find a good one.

lau1247 · 09-07-2014 1:35pm

I'd love an A6.. With the right OEM kit, it is stunning.

Not restricted to bmws, go on tell us more about your next diesel tractor...

Supergurrier · 09-07-2014 1:46pm

One that starts

Good value, reliable, nice styling, plenty of kit, decent engines.

Ticks all the boxes basically.

Only after changing, no wander lust yet, still in the keeping it clean phase:rolleyes:

Exactly what I went for a couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy with it.

I went for the 180bhp Type-S model which has 154 g/km emmissions - falling just under the 155 g/km level needed for the €390 tax band.

My next car will be in a couple of years time but I would consider a BMW depending on reliability of the latest model. I'd have been looking at a 2010 model this time round and I've read about too many issues with the pre-2011 BMW's to feel comfortable buying one.

akura · 09-07-2014 3:07pm

I think a Lexus IS200

_Kaiser_ · 09-07-2014 3:22pm

2005 Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro with lots of toys -> 08+ Audi A8 with equivalent engine and even more toys!

ETA: 12-18 months hopefully!

Hal1 · 09-07-2014 3:59pm

I've been looking at quite a few various types. My criteria is 2l petrol hatch. What interests me so far is the astra opc or fiesta mk6 st. Time will tell.

W123-80's · 09-07-2014 4:05pm

Hopefully an early to mid '90's Starlet. 4 door. In the next 3/4 months.

I have an f10 and love it but imagine petrol ones are very hard to find in the UK, especially if you want a certain spec. You want the pro nav at the very least! Suppose if you found a 535i the owner would have specc'd it up nicely.

RootX · 09-07-2014 4:46pm

370Z

09-07-2014 5:23pm

GT86 or Caymen S

That is if my current avensis lasts another........... about 10 years or so!

535i f10? Seriously difficult to find one of those even in the UK.

The diesel brigade sicken me.

dgt · 09-07-2014 5:58pm

Still assembling the next car and will be for a while yet

ShadowHearth · 09-07-2014 6:01pm

I think for the first time in my life I dont really think much about my next car. I am pretty happy with my stables right now. :pac: I drive scooby and misses mx5 mostly. Scooby just works perfect for me as all arounder. Reliable and fun.

If there would be an option it would be only this: Selling mx5 and buying a classic american muscle car as a weekend/fun car. something like and old Camaro or Trans Am

Alan Shore · 09-07-2014 6:08pm

Ya have a scooby too, would love a dodge challenger but will probably go for a '05 911 997.

Please mind your language here. Card given.

toyotaavensis · 09-07-2014 6:30pm

A 9-5 estate 2.0 turbo petrol with leather interior around 07 (with the old triumph engine) as after that GM ruined it.

Foxhole Norman · 09-07-2014 7:36pm

E39 for me I'd say.

TCP/IP · 09-07-2014 7:47pm

About to hopefully make a BMW M6 cabrio my next car.

colm_mcm · 09-07-2014 8:02pm

Kinda keeping an eye on Seat Exeo estates and facelift Accord iDTECs

Blazer · 09-07-2014 8:11pm

I only got mine a few weeks back but leaning now towards BMW X5...all the lovely space

..to be taken up with kids stuff

Bpmull · 09-07-2014 9:10pm

A golf. Probably mk6 or mk7 depends on how long I keep my current car. Recently seen a mk6 R line and really liked that. Probably be 2 years before I change.

I waited about 6 months for my current car to come up for sale, I know how difficult it can be to find one. Though for the future car I have more models/engines in mind, and I can take my time.

I very much doubt by 2007 that engine had anything Triumph in it. It was continuously evolved and was basically a new block by the early 90's.

naughtysmurf · 09-07-2014 10:05pm

I genuinely don't know, about ten months away from changing, I'm looking, weighing up different models for the last couple of months & can safely say it's wrecking my head already

dar83 · 09-07-2014 10:06pm

Potentially a MkII Focus RS,maybe a MkIII ST, or possibly something completely different like an S5/RS4 or even an A45 AMG.

That is I I can fend off the lure of an ankle biter by that stage.

HandsomeDan · 09-07-2014 10:12pm

Allah willing, an 08 gs450h.

Everyone telling me its an old boys car. Fuk em.

Lurching · 09-07-2014 10:19pm

A slightly newer BMW than my current '69 I think.
It's a pity the 135i coupe's weren't more popular in Ireland.

Eric Cartman · 09-07-2014 10:21pm

to replace the d-max will be either a new Pajero "executive" (5 seat commercial) or a 2013 discovery commercial , If I cant find a discovery with every option on it , itll be the pajero.

may buy something sporty towards the end of the year for when I turn 25 , thinking 840ci, 560 SEC or an older porsche.

Doubt no longer but believe. Also if you dont know something to be true or not it makes you look silly if you come on and just post you dont believe it, even though you dont know anything about it yourself.

SAAB were using the triumph engine under license initially and then started adapting it. They were still using the same design (although updated) in the SAAB 9-5 which you was made until about 2008/9.
From wikipedia but it is true as I have done a lot of reading up on SAABs.

Just to add it is likely that this engine will be used in new SAAB 9-3 cars later this year.

The Saab H engine is a redesign of the Saab B engine, which in turn was based on the Triumph Slant-4 engine. Despite the name it is not an H engine or horizontally opposed engine, but a slanted inline-4. The H engine was introduced in 1981 in the Saab 900 and was also used in the Saab 99 from 1982 onwards and the Saab 90. It continued in use in the 900/9-3, 9000, and 9-5. The 2003 GM Epsilon-based 9-3 switched to the GM Ecotec engine, leaving the 9-5 as the sole user of the H engine. The last model year for this family of engines was 2009. The tooling and know-how was sold to BAIC.

What year is your accord? Haven't driven the UK s type but love the exec 2009 I have but the extra 30bhp must be nice...

quadrifoglio verde · 09-07-2014 11:15pm

My next that I'll have on the road will be my 156 when I put it back on the road and take the gtv off for a year (not until 2016 though) so a good while yet.
What will I actually buy next? I haven't a clue to be honest. I want something older and italian so perhaps a 75 3.0 v6 although if a cheap enough e34 535i came up I could be tempted.

Mine is a 2011. I haven't drove the 150 bhp version myself. There's rarely a time where I'm looking for more power in my 180 bhp version. It's signicantly more powerful than previous Mondeos and other cars that I've owned.

toastedpickles · 09-07-2014 11:51pm

Another estate of some sort, great yokes, maybe an accord or a mazda 6

Noccy_Mondy · 09-07-2014 11:52pm

Leaving the next cheap car aside, when it comes to changing the mondeo, I don't really know, more than likely won't be another mondeo, I'd like to try out a 3 series, maybe a volvo of some sort, won't be for a good while yet though.

Voodoomelon · 10-07-2014 12:21am

09-10 F01 7 series or a 2008 Quattroporte in a few years.

The head will always justify a German brand over an Italian, but have to get that Maserati urge out of the system!

Atlantic Dawn · 10-07-2014 12:34am

A car no penny pinching fool wants in this country, spec will include...petrol, automatic, €700 plus motor tax a year, luxury beyond 95% of cars on our roads, budget will be sub €5k, smile on my face when chatting about running costs to the €25k plus buyers of sub €200 motor tax diesel poverty spec rattling tractor based cars will be priceless.

vectra · 10-07-2014 12:50am

Considering an AMG spec. Merc CLA 1.6 Petrol

What's going to be your next car?
