Car shopping

I went shopping for a car tonight.
Spent 3 hours looking (and testing ;-) ) cars.

What am I looking for ?
Big engine, good looking, high fuel consumption
and something that can go fast around the track during the Formula 1 open day !
With low insurance and no stupid road tax based on engine size,
a big engine is a must, I may not be able to get that ever again.

as for the high fuel consumption, it goes with the big engine of course
and do I need to remind you of the price of petrol here?
I didn't think so.

Here are my 3 choices, picts are not from car (remember my broken camera)
but it gives you an idea. I need helpl to choose

So I have tried a 2004 Mazda RX8 4L V6 sequential gearbox, dark grey, mint condition, 100,000km, 1 year warranty engine and gearbox



I have seen a black 2007 Mustang GT 4.2L V6 14,000km. plus it's a manual so a bit more fun than the automatics they are all driving here.



There are also a few Nissan Z350 2204 or 2005 within my budget.



I know, all of them are 2 seaters but I'll rent a big 4*4 when you guys come over.

Help me choose please.

  1. la3e a le plus beau look, mais mustang est une marque culte. Je choisirai Mustang, car conduire ce type de voiture ne se présentera pas tous les jours...

  2. I always consider Mazdas to be a girls car :).

    I'd go with the Nissan. I love that car. I think it would be great around the track but also a nice car to drive every day.

    Also more reliable that a ford!!!

  3. Go for the Nissan dude...there is a Renault engine underneath the bonnet...there will be a bit of France with you whenever you drive it...and it's also good for scoring when Edwina is in Ireland.
