appeal to all petrol heads..... I want a new car !!!

POSTED BY: christophersmum 1 week, 1 day ago

quite simply i want a new car, soft top. all because my fella has just got a brand new audi A4 estate with all the "extras"

now it's my turn. problem is do i copy with an audi (i really do like his) or is there something else hot and possibly not as expensive?

must haves are:

integrated sat nav
power hood
4 (pref 5 seats)
cd multichanger (although can prob get on most as extra)
& be no more expensive than audi a4 cabriolet

suggestions?

There is always the VW Beatle convertible. Not sure about the price but I would be suprised if they were more than the A4!

I've got a 1996 Astra convertible you can buy! 4 seats, Cd player, Power hood, Minor crash damage in the rear drivers side quarter panel, Alloy wheels etc.

Think i could just about sell you it for around the same price as a A4 cabriolet!

the beetles are rediculously overpriced for what you are getting. you would be much better off getting a mini convertible if you wan a car like that. i can truely reccommond a mini as we have had two first a 51 reg and now got an 04 reg. .... which i have been driving and its great! the rents are now being tempted by another... this time my dad says he can save money by spending more on a cooper s so he cant put me on the insurance.

tell him by the time he's paid to put you on the insurance he won't have saved anything so not worth it.lol

like mini's but have kids so with shopping and kids i'm thinking something a bit bigger.
