What car to buy next?

[ThomasSoerensen]

If four wheel drive is so good, why aren't F1 cars 4x4 to improve lap times?

Because it says in the techical regulations that they must be rear wheel drive.

Don't worry too much about the ins group, my current car is group 20 and is less than £600 a year

Yeah but I've only had a licence for 1 year.

P.S. I'm not 18.

Scooby is a bad imitation of a rally car = off roader.
Mitsi is not proper sportscar with 4wd and turbo.

Rear wheel drive - front engined - naturally aspirated = great handling car which is progressive on the limit so you can slide it around corners without killing yourself.

Ah, so all rally is off road? The scooby is actually a very good sports car.

So, all sports cars are rear wheel drive? I see where I have been going wrong.....
Some of the new Ferraris are front wheel drive, but I guess that makes them family cars.

Audi A5 3.0 TDI Sport - £38,000ish without extras

0-60 in 5.8 seconds (I think) /w 4WD

Me and another contractor i know both want one of these or an M6 convertible.

Or wait till next year and the new version of the A4.

The Scooby is a 4 door sallon which Subaru has tricket out completely in order to be successfull in Rally. It was never designed as a sports car. It is not a sports car.

Most rally is off road - and since they have to use the same car for all tests they choose 4wd because it is most effective off road. A few years ago Citroen had a car which was front week drive - it was lightning fast on asfalt but crap off road. 4wd is for off oaders.

No Ferrari is or has been front wheel drive.

What mug buys a new car?!


.... I bought an M3 last week - although i felt like a bit of a plum turning up for the first day of work on this contract in that, next to all the rusty bangers owned by the permies.

Still - the commute to and from work feels more like fun, than an actual drive .... 340bhp and a load of country roads.

Wrong! Threaded had a prototype that the design team gave him for his feedback. He said front wheel drive was pants and so they dropped the model.

So, if a car has front wheel drive, part front wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive, it cannot be a sports car?

Did he phrase his review as a surrealistic MACaddress randomized youtube video?
