    Your 'more realistic' dream car

    We all dream about Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos and Astons but unless we get all six numbers up on the lottery, the dream of owning £100,000+ car will always remain a dream.

    So, being a bit more realistic in our outlook, what car do you think you'll be driving in the near future, or would be in your earnings budget?

    For me, what I drive right now, a VW Passat, is pretty close to perfect. I'd rather have the 3.0 V6 petrol engine and an automatic 'box but apart from that I'm more than happy with it. I tried just about everything there is within the £20,000 budget that I had before placing the order.

    Realistically, at the minute Im trying to find a Suzuki Vitara Fatboy for under £2000.

    Bit of fun for the summer but each one I keep finding on ebay or auto trader keeps getting sold before I can get chance to put my Mondeo up for sale.
    Im back! Now what'd I miss?

    I think an air-cooled Porsche 911 would be nice....

    I'm driving pretty much the car I'd be driving on a regular basis even if I were much wealthier. An Evo IX. Great combination of practicality and fun.

    Realistically my ideal car now judging from my income would be a good pair of boots and my own feet But in a longer term I assume I could afford something like a Focus.

    If I ever make more than that I would ponder the option of getting a Mazda RX8 which is a car I would love to have.
    There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

    I want my first car to be a 1.4 ltr Astra

    By the time I'm in my mid-twenties i would love to have a 2nd hand X-type for about £12,000'ish.

    My brother has always had good cars. His 1st was a Mini mayfair (but it looked like a Mini Cooper sports-pack), he then had a New Mondeo Zetec and Westfield for a 2nd car, and now he has a BMW 330ci. Not bad for a 24 year old

    Peugeot 306 GTi-6, Lancia Delta Integrale and perhaps a few current cars after they've depreciated significantly
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
