    Spec me a fun 2+2

    I came from a Z3 Coupe with a three litre straight-six and rwd. The S3 did its job very well, blasting through Germany at 250km/h, wintersporting in the Norwegian mountains and trundling through traffic on the way to work. It was fast and incredibly competent, like all fast Audis. It's just...

    It's worth the suspense when it's a Veyron.

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    Yup, lower tax on a M440i xDrive than a GR86/BRZ. But like the TTRS, It'd make an awesome fun daily rather than something special for the weekend. Not planning on selling the i3S as it costs me nothing other than insurance and depreciation, but if I were to sell it, I'd be much more into the...

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    All very valid points, thanks. I'm 5'9 apparently (was measured the other week and appear to have shrunk) and I doubt we'd ever be 4-up in the car. Can put one kid up front and one in the back so not an issue. Planning on testing a TT RS and BRZ next week, but I foresee the outcome already. M2...

    That is second hand (2023) :p The reg. tax will decrease slightly as the cars get older but anything with big displacement and/or big CO2 means crazy tax. Agree Mustang = V8

    Belgium. Slightly higher prices, much higher taxes :( Popping over the border next week for the Techno Classica Essen so planning on driving some stuff while I'm over there. A 2023 5.0 Mustang means registration tax of €13,250 and annual tax of €3,675.. I could always get an EcoBoost but it's a...

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    G23 M440i xDrive could be in budget as for some reason very early ones are only a few grand more expensive than good condition F33 440i.. However, it's more of a luxury cruiser than a sports car isn't it? Yes, it'll be fun with the roof down on a summer's evening, but for hooning through the...

    Is there a "drift mode" in the G80 M440i xDrive like there is in the M3/M4, or is the 4wd always on?

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    I guess, but I'd still want to drive mine in winter. I took the Caterham out all year round, just wore a thicker hat :p Had an 8P S3 and whilst it was competent, it wasn't fun. The TTRS has the 5-pot and is stupidly fast, which is another kind of fun. For daily use, it's overkill I agree. Plus...

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    Good 135s are sold by dreamers and they're almost double the UK price. Ropey 235 cabs start above 20, and 240s go all the way to €40k. Which is also crazy because you can get the G42 for not much more.. Just looked on AutoTrader - can't believe you can get them for £15k in the UK. Literally...

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    Basically free to tax due to very low CO2. Unfortunately they start at £60k. Even more for the cab... Belgium. Mixture of engine size and CO2 emissions. Registration tax (every time you buy a car) is on a sliding scale as it gets older, so for an Evora it could be between £1000 and £5000...

    Fair enough, thanks for the feedback :) PS - You can get a rain cover for the Caterham :p

    Alas, no. If I were in the UK, I'd have a fleet of sports cars :(

    Spec me a fun 2+2

    Been pining after a fun car since I sold the Caterham a year ago, and I need some help. I have 2 small(ish) children so a 2+2 would be ideal so I can take them out together, but it'll mainly be me blatting around in it. Budget around £30-40k. Here is my list so far: Lotus Evora (S) Pro: It's a...

    GT86/GR86/BRZ

    I envy your car history :D If you had them all lined up, which set of keys would you grab to go for a drive? Which one would you jump into to let off some steam after a ****** day at work? Exige doesn't count :p

    Another stupid purchasing decision

    Maybe this is why they want to inspect all cars coming into the country? :p

    GT86/GR86/BRZ

    How would you sum up the TT-RS? Typical Audi, fast & competent but not "fun"? You have the Mk2 or Mk3? Will start a new thread later rather than derail this one, but back seats are only for jaunts with the kids, I'd be blatting around myself for most of the time like in the Caterham.
