I'd like something fun for under €7,500.
I'm a 22-year old car enthusiast. I have recently sold my 2003 BMW 325Ci M Sport and I'm looking for something sporty, fun to drive with over 200hp for under €7,500. What would you recommend?
Our answer:
Hi Michael,
That kind of budget should get you into a 2007, maybe a 2008 Volkswagen Golf GTI and recommendations come no higher. Other good options (if you can track them down) are Honda Civic Type-R, Renaultsport Clio 197 or, sticking within your current ballpark, maybe a nice 330i.
Or have you considered a diesel? Maybe sacrifice hp for Nm and lower running costs? Perhaps lower insurance too. A nice 330d should suit you, sir. Also consider an Audi A4 with the 3.0 TDI V6 engine (a trip to the UK is probably needed) or maybe a Golf GTD.
