Hi

Getting a bit bored of my golf now so looking around i want something very fast but not older than 4 years what are the best options for around 13 000 but it must be a improvment over the old golf

You want something like this :

Impreza are a chav car now are they not ?

You would be able to pick up a year or two old Leon Cupra R for around the ?12k mark with mileage around 20k, and a remap would take it to around 270bhp. But it depends on exactly what your requirements are mate.... fwd, rwd, 4wd??

I'm sure a R33 GTR Skyline could be bought for near enough that much.

Depends what you mean by fast? If you mean fast in a straight line/top speed it's a very different thing to fast in the 'real world', again top speed is a different issue. Fast round a track, hard to beat a Caterfield.

For all round speed/all weather speed on road I reckon a Mitusbishi Evo VI is as quick as it gets.

Of course we are talkig standard cars otherwise you could start to include turbo'd 4WD Novas in the equation.

Indeed they can. My mate had owned two. The first was about ?12500 but was a bit ropey. In fact, very ropey. However for ?15k he bought a total minter of an R33 GTR V-Spec with an official stamped factory Nismo 350bhp upgrade, a full UK history and even the Japanese manuals.

Personally I don't really like rice-mobiles but a Skyline really is something else. Very very special car.

Something completely different what about a Jaguar XJR V8 Supercharged 380BHP monstermaybe not what your looking for but its alot different too the golf

 

[BORA_TOM]

If you want a Supra I have a UK Twin turbo (1 of 693 UK versions) yours for under 10k leaving you ?3k for mods

 

[Bazrazmataz]

Im just looking for something i can blast around in not track days, More intrested in acceleration than top end ! The man thing it cannot be more than 4 years old

 

[Bazrazmataz]

Cant find any R33's on autotrader but recent R34 are going for double my budget

 

[Bazrazmataz]

What is the age on the supra

 

[sammyboy]

Impreza is going to be the fastest/cheapest thing all weather road use (if you tune it)4 yrs old and in budget.

Could you bring yourself to drive an estate Impreza turbo with those awful bugeyes, if so the estate version is not a chav car. If so you could get one for 12K and another 1K on a tek 3 remap. Nearly 300bhp. But looks terrible.

Reckon it's going to be your fastest, non-chav option within your age range.

 

[Bazrazmataz]

No way will i ever drive those horrible estates never ever !! I think probably stick with the golf for a bit longer as im getting a golden handshake soon and i can use that money to add to the pot !

 

[Bazrazmataz]

ok then slight change of question what is the nicest performance car you can get for 13 grand doesnt have to be the fastest

 

[aidan]

Wait for the golden handshake and get one of these - http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=HONDA&model=INTEGRA&variant=&keywords=&min_pr=75&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=5&postcode=b98+7xt&miles=1500&max_records=50&source=0&sort=3&ukcbumarch_full=SEARCH

 

[Bazrazmataz]

hmmm not bad i was thinking of going for a nissan 350Z after the handshake

 

[vedhead]

a 350z for 13k? hmmmm, is that a Masons handshake??

 

[BORA_TOM]

I take it this is to be a company car hence the 4 year old bit, unfortunately mine is 9 years old but with not much investment it can seriously move. It's completely standard at the moment, so remove the cats and up boost to 1.1 bar (fuel cut defender ad boost conroller is all that's needed) and you should see 380bhp at the fly.
