How on earth someone can dismiss a car without actually driving it is totally beyond me :S
I hate new shape mini coopers, but to see if they were like I thought, I drove two of them (one was a mcs too)
I used to think that large tdi cars were pap, until I was given a passat tdi hire car (when mine for a cambelt change) Tbh it really surprised me, if I was in the market for a big tdi car, i'd have one, no questions
At the end of the day to comment on something you at least should have driven it before making up your mind
Your not the first to come out with your comments by any maens & I doubt you'll be the last either.

Fair point. There are times when you know what you will not buy though. This is one of them.
Gaz, no offence mate, but you're barkin up the wrong tree here.
You've made your point...It's right in terms of being a better car...But what defines a better car!
The Vee looks incredible, turns heads more than alot of Supercars, the petrolheads will appreciate it for what it is, the noise is epic, it cost sub 20k, it's FASTER than most things of the same value and 'milage'
S2k, 350z, boxsters...Yawn?!
Scooby's, evo's - Yawn?!

My opinion was that i wouldnt buy any other car sub 35k and you disagreed, which is fair enough. I would say drive one, i never ever wanted a Vee 2years ago and wasnt impressed by them and thought they were a bodykitted clio etc etc. But i drove one and saw one at a meet and began to appreciate them .
I am not saying that you MUST like it, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But i disagree with your view that an s2000 is a better car ,that people who drive vee's are limited in their petrol head knowledge and that vee's are a waste of money.
There must be something with a vee that makes 99% of owners love it to bits and be so defensive about it. I loved my 182 but didnt think it was the muts nuts but with the Vee i feel it is.

I loved my 172 also, the willy on one level, hell i loved my 1.2 at the begining.
I've driven, Evo's, scoobs, Porsche's, A ferrari, classics, Caterhams...All credits to what are...But nothing comes close to the vee
Was even thinkin on my way home...Why would i replace this?! TVR....Maybe...But i think i'd return to vee ownership.

I love all of the vee related banter tbh (shall I resurrect the thread on - have you ever driven a vee ??) As some I bet, haven't at all.
Also, I lol'd hard at a porsche boxster & an s2000 being head turning cars, no they aren't at all !!! A boxster is common as, out of twenty cars I think at least two would be boxsters. S2000's are rarer, but it's not un heard of seeing one on the road at all.
The 350z on the other hand is rare, so that car will (and does turn heads) and I like them.
The vee of course, does do it
Totally agree with you. Its rare and different, I've only ever seen a couple of Vee's on the road before. Performance and handling doesn't make a car. A great car is about how it looks, feels, sounds etc.

35k. lotus exige s, monaro 6.0v8 vxr(no doubt same fuel consumption as vee:rasp, porche cayman 3.4s(imo closer to a 911 than a boxter ever will be). all cars i would have more than a vee for 35k but its a vee we arnt talking 35k league are we lol ! stop crying everyone and enjoy your cars you would not buy them if they were s*it in your own opinions

Vee is the best car on the planet! lol
disagree with ya there mate!! had a bit ov a play with a v in my 182 couple ov days ago and the furthest he got in front was about a car length's in front and i was hammerin him on the corners! all i've got done to mine is a filter and de-cat. dare say with a good re-map the 182 wud pull on beta than the v!!
lol. Driver was clearly asleep!
TBH my old 172 kept up with phil's old mk1 till about 100odd.

But, at the end of the day, who care's? I honestly think that on nasty b-roads my 172 is quicker. Don't care, still rather be in the vee, enjoying the noise, the balance (old school 911 feel), the gearshift, and the aura. Like I've said time and time again re the 197, it may be quicker but if we wanted the quickest car for 15k, we'd all be in evo's or impreza's. A vee feels special idling in a car park, 172 doesn't.

Weve still not found the conclusion as to why the V6 is an old bucket of horse cum though ?

Lol Ironically the V6 argument can be used here in most cases. I would imagine the 300C sounds good, it is quicker in a straight line than a V6 (according to letstorquebhp.com ) would defo get noticed wether it is to everyones taste or not. There are quicker cars for the money (especially round a track).....

stand at the front of your V6 - pull your pants down so they are around your ankles - bend your body forward so you can see your own arse....then lick your own balls you f**king turd in a pond
You've been speaking with some of my inbreds!! Good lad!

Best comeback in this thread IMO. TBF I love the 300c, especially with a Hemi. Real question is though, is it better than an s2000????

@ Ali
Define better my little too far northern friend...that is why this argument will never end because people have different needs/likes in a car. 15k is 2nd hand so that opens up lots of options for different needs. 15k would get you a spanking evo that would be faster all ends up, sounds great and has 4 doors and a boot.
I love you
