    stiff competition for the third.
    m3... c63... etc...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭GioSosStavros


    c63 is far far superior to the m3 imo. Not even close.

    This is one of the most pointless threads I've seen in a long time ...what's the best car for a noob, money no object ...(as if :D)

    But as it isn't against the charter to be pointless ...knock yourselves out !

    One word of warning though ...this thread will be closed at the first sign of an argument.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,366 ✭✭✭ninty9er


    More reasonable for you Peasant. Insurance will be killer though...think just sub €7k with no experience.

    Possibly one of the best cars in the world - VW Beetle. Won't break the bank and will benefit from classic tax and insurance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,193 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    In my opinion:

    535d. All cars are a compromise in some departments so no car will fill all gaps, but I think the best allrounder would be the 535d. Its fast, RWD, spacious for 4 with a nice boot, economical, it looks well, and handles very well. An E39 528i M sport, or a 330i/330d would be a good choice too.

    Another contender in my eyes is the ten a penny mark 2 Ford Mondeo 2.0tdi. The E90 320d is also up there.

    On a more sporty note, probably the Honda NSX gets my vote. Timeless design, RWD, light, relatively affordable running costs, japanese reliabilty. Or the Mark 2 Mazda MX5, 1.8L. I wouldnt say no to it as my next car.

    all very sensible suggestions... especially the diesel mondeo...

    coz when money's no object you really, REALLY wanna be sensible!! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,538 ✭✭✭btkm8unsl0w5r4


    For me, money no object has to be the Koenigsegg CCX. So rare, so fast, and gorgeous.

    Putting all this money no object stuff to one side for a sec, I read recently that an annual service on the McClaren costs 30K in english punts!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭thesoulfulldude


    depends what ya wanna use the car for!

    i dunno about the cost of the service but...

    you cannot sell the car on, if you wanna sell it, you HAVE to sell it back to mcclaren. they then completely rebuild the car so the next person gets a brand new car!

    amazing. :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭macnab


    BMW M5 is the best all round car in the world, IMO. Supercar performance for Family car money (2nd hand of course)

    I wons. Close thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,639 ✭✭✭traco


    Another suggestion - Toyota Corolla, more sold than the VW Beetle but in more variations. Still reckon its the Beetle though - remember that Top Gear challenge across Africa.

    BTW all the other suggestions are excellent but to throw in a few more, The original Mini, Porsche 959, Honda NSX, Lancia Delta Integrale, 80's Audi Quattro, BMW E30 M3, E60 M5 Touring, Audi RS6 Avant, Willys Jeep, Original Landrover, Mk I/II Escort RS2000, Sierra/Escort Cosworth....

    This is a great question to have over pints but its completely irrelevent without some sort of critera.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights


    Realistic = BMW M5 or RS6 (New one)

    Dream = Koenigsegg CCXR Edition (the carbon one......)


  • Registered Users Posts: 65,429 ✭✭✭✭unkel
    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Ultimate car has got to be the Veyron. The tour-de-force of creating it, whatever the cost!
    I'm a n00b
    c63 is far far superior to the m3 imo. Not even close.

    :D

    The "king of the 'ring", the Lexus LF-A. Followed very closely by the cheap as chips Nissan GTR, both of which piss all over M5s (never mind 535Ds) etc etc and the original NSX from a height.

    There will only be 300 Veyrons, making them rarer than the Enzo. Good luck in getting one.
