hey guys ... the hunt is on ... i have the go ahead to sell the old beemer and hunt for a new partner .... i'd like you all to throw in ur suggestions ... they will highly b appreciated ... here are a few of my criterias:
i want a pocket rocket ... something thats fast yet small ... to cut thru traffic and to park easily in the busy areas where parking is a pain ...a second hand in the range of 40k max and a few more g's for brand new ... it'd b bonus if i can get the warranty and gaurentee for 3 years n all that as well ...something thats not too complicated and at the same time would'nt give expenses in the long run ... i want something that looks good as well ...i drive around alot so i need something thats comfortable as i have back problems as well ... please throw in ur suggestions i can use all the help here ...i want V6 if possible..
btw i have a few cars in mind :
the suzuki swift ... wid a lil change it can b actually swift n look good as well ... new
the older version of VW r32 but needs to b in mint condition ... used

another thing i have in mind is that i have a friend living in jeddah and apparently cars n modding r pretty cheap there ... im thinking of buying a car there ... modding it and register it there and drive around here ... would i have a problem ...as in would it b required to exit the car in every short span of time ... would they catch me for modifications that r considered illegal here and GOD FORBID ifi have an accident would insurance cover it by any chance... and would agencies guys repair if anything went wrong out here ... ur insights pls ... abdullah i see u have alot of cars pls lemme no a few ... im in love wid the V8 545 !!! the rest of u guys pls help in wid the cars and other information ...

the only pocket rocket i would recommend now is the new Clio ... coming soon to showrooms near you. There is nothing else to compare in its price range.

R32 is a great car, but i know 3 owners who sold the car within 1 year. it just doesnt cut in, and not a real value for money car.

talking abt the r32, i think its a great car too, but hey you can get an EVO for that range! which is a hell lot cooler and a lot more exciting, dont you think?

rashood which evo could you get in a 40,000-50,000aed range?? that would be quite difficult unless your going for a evo6-7 which wouldnt be worth it.
I would definatly recommend a clio as well. pretty neat lil car!!

Add some more money and get a new civic. It's worth it.

Sat in it with my friend while going to Ajman. Amazing interior, great looks and best of all Fuel Cost.

We went in full tank and came back with 3 dots left!

nah buddy i was saying you could get an EVO for the price of an R32, which though a very neat car isn't good value for money...

the last i heard was that the R32 is 140K new

and the GTi 110K...

Cheers...

hey guys thanx for the suggestions ...tiida isnt my choice hk20 and i f i were to go for hyundai coupe v6 i woudl rather get a new one cuz it wud b a better deal since i would have the service n warranty and everything n it looks nice as wekll ... but the hp is very low jus 167 ??!?!?!!? rashood i was talking abt older r32s if there any ... actually a golf 6 cylinder would b interestin but not a new one... clio sport sounds interesting .... but again i have to see what they have to offer and whether the spares and everything r cheap and most importantly r they availalbe ...hater ... the honda civic looks really nice from the front but from the back it looks messed up man the tail lights n everything otherwise it raelly very nice ... but then again its 4 cyl ...my budget isnt that high guys ... but i dont wanna comprimise as well and i i need my car alot so i cant afford to give it to the garage very often ... so any more suggestions ...wat do u guys have to say abt my idea of a saudi registered car ??? wat abt new swift n a new SEAT LEON FR or a SEAT LEON CUPRA ...or a new maxima ...new megane sport or the M6azda !!!will have tow ait for Pr to no whether the jazz is better or the swift ..

Honda Accord Coupe.. approx 190 hp.Stiffer suspension compared to the 4 door version. Nice looks.

Rogue · Post by **Rogue** » 20 Jul 2008, 7:15 pm

i thinks its too expensive ...110 something ...

Aamir · Post by **Aamir** » 20 Jul 2008, 7:37 pm

97k for top 4cyl options.. Worth it.

Rogue · Post by **Rogue** » 20 Jul 2008, 7:49 pm

nah ... i'd rather buy the v6 rather than that .... thanx anyways ...

Rogue... if you want to satisfy yourself and go on modding forever... your need a 350Z...
The other day when you asked about a car... the only car that came into my mind is the Z...
Any other car mentioned isnt as tuner friendly as the Z.
I am yet to see a Z thats the ultimate out here.

And the Hyundai coupe is good and can be tuned to 300 hp with turbo or Supercharger route... But then you can get a five or six speed manual here... unless u pick up a used one...

I would hav got a Z for myself... but the car has only 2 seats.... and it will be my daily driven car for me and my family... wont work

You are young and you have a long way to go....

would you get a used Z for that budget of 40 - 50K ?
