Hmmmmm thats a tough one

Wouldnt go for the mgf its a two seat rover

X type is nice as is the merc

Focus as long as it wasnt the orange

 

For me i would like the VW Touareg as long as it was the V10 monster

[NikpV]

how about the sharan replacement??? :D

[Guest gooner52]

no nik would never get a car with a vw badge

 

and yes i know about the galaxy :D

[gregers]

my cousins got an x type nice car parts seem readily available,and fairly cheap on fleabay.

merc preety much bomb proof by all accounts.

cant think why you would want to trade down from a car with a huge foot print to a couple of roller skates :D im sure you would regret it.

[Guest gooner52]

allthe cars like listed i really like

 

but im getting to like the new st ,looks like a great car

 

with loads of toys,and style

 

:D

[Guest MATT jr]

weve decided the next car up from our galaxy is a merc M class 270CDI Automatic.

 

the only snag is, my age! -- were looking at

[Guest Cepheus]

What's your budget J?

 

Lexuses/Lexi always come near the top of customer satisfaction surveys. Have always liked the RX350 4x4 - LOTS of toys on them too.

 

MGF - sh1t

MR2 new shape, nice - had one at 130 round Oulton Park :D What about the Celica? Had that at 140 down the straight! V Nice!

X-Type is made in Liverpool - enough said! :16:

 

Go for the Focus ST, but make sure it's blue ..... and then Wolf it up!!

 

 

V V Nice!!! :D Just don't forget to put your Burberry cap on backwards before driving :16:

[Guest MATT jr]

the ford focus ST is cool -- has a volvo engine doesn't it? was it the 2.5 diesel???

 

MJR

[Guest Cepheus]

Is the same petrol 2.5 litre 5 cylinder turbocharged lump from the Volvo S50/V50 T5 variant.

[Guest gooner52]

at the mo its looking like the st-3

 

with sat nav,touchscreen,bulit in dvd,bluetooth

electric heated seats,computer,all the normal great bits

 

its still only got a better 0=60 time of 0.4 of a sec over the trophy

 

but the st does like the nuts

 

been making some phone calls,found out can get leckie sunroof,dual aircon,etc..

 

i also think the blue one is nice with the st kit,with viper stripes :lol:

 

still has less power than the sw20 turbo :(

if you go for an ST you will be able join the ffoc

[Guest dannyboy]

apparently the jag x-type (or is it the s-type?) is based on the mondeo, so if yer a ford fan you'd do well with this one. :lol:

A friend just imported a Nissan Skyline (2.5) direct from Japan.....claimed to do 185mph! Load of bells & whistles and goes like stink. He got it really cheap too. You don't see many of them over here. Only problem is the Japanese radio....it only goes up to 89MHz soe he can only get radio 2 haha!

tell him to buy a radio expander,can buy them on ebay

my m8 had the same problem with his import :lol:

Go for the ST - Brilliant car. Superb performance, good handling, although ride is firm. I loved it, wife did not - 3 door looks much cooler than 5-door, but she didn't like having to keep getting in and out when dropping kids off/collecting them from wherever. Fuel consumption is in the same league as the VR6 galaxy - I managed a best of 31mpg on the long motorway run to/from work- about 320 miles per tank. (A Focus 1.6 manages 38mpg, my Galaxy does 45mpg on same trip/ same average speed). If you opt for the spare tyre, instead of the compressor/goo thing, you lose tons of boot space, as the boot floor is about 4" higher to accomodate the spare.

If you want usable performance with practical space, you won't regret it.

 

You HAVE to get the orange one, otherwise it looks like any other Focus at first glance.

[Guest gooner52]

hi george

 

how long have you had your st

 

which one do you have st1/st2/st3

 

cheers m8

[Willie Krashitt]

Don't have - have the occasional use of (perk of the job, developing cars) Was the ST-3 model, with the full heated leather. Has now got 11000 miles on it (06 plate) and is still as tight as a nut. Only real problem is it is far too easy to go ridiculously fast. Would definately be on my buy list if I didn't have to drive 40,000 miles a year. Brother in Law has an ST-2 and is already wanting to get another to replace this one when it is a year old.

[Guest gooner52]

the st3 does look the nuts

 

its top of my list,must make a call to fords for a test driveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :lol:

[Guest gooner52]

have seen 2 nice fully loaded mk2 gals today

 

1st was a 2.8ghia 53reg

2nd was a 1.9tdi 130.

 

both had full cream leather,with heated seats/sunroof/dvd/esp/sat nav/multi func wheel :blink:

 

and both looked the part..

 

so i am still out on my choice..

 

yum yum did like them both under 10k

[El Dingo]

If I was buying for me, I'd buy the ST3. :o

However, our Galaxy is my wife's car. So if I replaced that, I'd most likely buy an S-Max 2.5.

[Guest gooner52]

the truth be told i have not got a clue what to get next

 

might even get a higher spec mk2 galaxy,with even more toys :o
