The Ultimate Car

[kingofthering]

Lotus 7. the real ultimate driving machine.

[baddabang]

you guys are all wrong:

[McReis]

How could we forget that???

[:Exige:]

Veyron. Thats the reason it was conceived.

Unchallenging to drive. Completley unaffordable. Extremely bad fuel range. Only space for 1 passenger. Not much luggage space. Flat soundtrack. Nuff said?

IMO it would have to be along the lines of Audi RS6 or VXR Monaro. However, Clio 192 Trophy is a great all rounder.

MG ZT-T 260 V8. Vaguely economic, cheap to buy, nice to look at, nice to drive, pretty quick too

Economic in what respect? Fuel, servicing, parts or depreciation? As far as I'm aware, it's fairly terrifying in each respect.

Note use of the word 'vaguely'

Fuel should be OK. In a high gear, it'll churn out OK numbers. Servicing- 3 year/100,000 mile warranty, and cheap at my local guy. Parts- OK, a bit trickier, but as a haunter of breaker's yards I know that not everything is impossible...

Depreciation- already £15,995 instead of £27,995. Future classic, too. So hold onto it, and you'll reap the dividends!

What do you mean by ultimate? In luxury, performance, both?

[Quiggs]

I present to you all, the ultimate car.

Here's to sort your complains on Veyron then.

red versus blue is awesome

[Prius]

now, remember that this is just my opinion, but I believe that the Mazda RX-8 is the ultimate car.

It is great looking, it seats four, yet it is a sports car. It can be ordered with a transmission that is automatic, then can be changed to maunel with paddle shifters, it hadnles the roads like a champ, and can be pretty reliable if you take care of it properly.

But, that is just my opinion.

No, my point was that no single car can be considered the ultimate. Keep up laddo

[4wd_nut]

It doesn't really matter what area of the ultimate car you say (performance, luxery, etc) it all helps.
Some more info on wat specks the car needs like 4wd, made of carbon fibre, etc

The 911 turbo does all the things you just listed, but better.

yeah, but there are three things holding it back:

It costs an arm and a leg
No rear doors
It costs more to maintain it than the cost of the car itself.
