first car

[nialloftara]

I have to wait to get a car till I finish my engineering studies, sadly enough, but that gives me time to save up for a damn good one, I'll be sure to put all my savings into it once I graduate.
I'm hoping for atleast a Mazda Rx8 (they're pretty damn cheap due to the negative stories about rotaries), just gotta manage to find a good one, although I'm not sure due to the massive fuel consumption, and rising fuel prices.

I was thinking of a Toyota GT86/Subaru Brz too, but then Fifth Gear pointed the Audi S3 out, which are pretty cheap because there are so many of them here.

I can only speculate about the second hand prices in 2-3 years though.

Do you get a lot of snow and ice? If so get the audi, if not but you do have audi upkeep kind of money get the mazda. If no snow or money get the 86/brz.

it can freeze and snow quite bad where he is at... so Audi it will be I guess haha. I want to get an Audi, but some time ago, I found out Lancer Evo's arent that expensive over here. So I'm trying to save up for one.

I will have my drivers licence shortly, so I wanted a MK1 Ford Focus because it is just the right size, quite economical and reasonably priced as a used car, but I can't afford it.



So I'll have as a first car my mother's car, a Renault Clio MK2, bought in 2008 (It is just like the photo, even the colour)

Wel, it's not like it's Scandinavia here, 5-10 cm's of snow for maybe max a week. And with global warming it isn't going to get worse

Audi S3 seems good indeed, but I noticed that 00-04 Mercedes SLK230's are pretty damn cheap here, and usually well taken care of. 200 hp with reasonable fuel consumption for like 4000-8000€

Then better study the effects of global warming again, because global warming doesnt just mean temperatures only go up, but during winters, go down quite as well. The earth needs to keep balance, so if other parts warm up more, other parts cool down more

Well, yeah, alright, thanks for killing my optimism
I was planning to go AWD later anyways, but hopefully I can afford a S3 when time is there, or find a fine Rx8 and just skid in the snow.

there is quite some audi's with AWD
