Get a room! I'll look after the car.

I've had a Seat Leon Cupra for a year and a half now, I'd buy a new one tommorow. But I reckon atm I would get the Cupra R 225BHP, I didn't get one when I bought mine cos there was a 3 month waiting list.

One that I can get a full size driver (golf club) in the boot of, and it'll be at least 3 years away (unless I write my company car off before hand!)

So, are you fed up with the handling yet? I know I am.

Mind you, I fully intend to get another vehicle to go alongside the 4x4. A Fiesta or something boring. It's too much fun to get rid of

Re: Whats going to be your next car

Well, I don't own a car yet, but I will be looking to buy one in 2006. Most likely I'll get a Corvette. Probably a used C5, 1998 or 1999. I think that will do as a graduation gift to myself.

When will car makers learn that since Sinclair, C5 is a very bad name to pick for a car, Citroen have done it, now Corvette

If I were to go for a 'vette, i'd probably go for one of the classics (saw one out shopping yesterday).
The C5 is just a tad too rounded for my liking, and the "cockpit" is too far forwards for a 'vette, still, I'm sure it's a beaut to drive

Re: Whats going to be your next car

I'd get a C4 is I can't afford a C5. C3, well, they're pricey. We're now in the range of either absolute crap for almost no money, or a well-cared for car that is over $80,000.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one to have sat at the traffic lights sniggering at the C5 in front.

Re: Whats going to be your next car

What is Citroen, and what is the C5 that thou speakest of?

Although you can see, it's quite a lot different from the 'vette C5.
It's grey rather than red for a start.
