Buying second car - another Euro?

[kryptonite]

Hi Folks,

So I had a 2003 CL9 standard with factory kit.

Have departed ways with the partner and gave her the car.

So I need a new ride.

FOr some reason, I am thinking of another CL9 (maybe sport model)

Just want some thoughts and feedback as this is going to be my second car.

Am I nuts?

Cheers,
K

If you haven't had enough of the CL9 I guess why not...

But if you've already sampled it, perhaps something different would be a more fulfilling experience.

There would be two reasons I would stick with the Euro

1) You know the reliability of the car and required maintensnce etc
2) Updated sport/luxury model

However depending in how long you had it for, a different car might be fun.

Like your partner....it's time to let go. Try something different - be it make or model. Anything else tickle your fancy ?
Nothing wrong with an accord euro , but it might be part of your journey to get on with life.

Yeah maybe go for a younger model, with a bit of a roar and some sexier curves

and maybe a newer car too

These are my initial thoughts, there is very nice forum here for CL9.



Now I am thinking maybe the CU2

Maybe time for polo gti

Maybe time for polo gti

I took a look at VW jetta and didnt feel confident with all the dramas that have been reported about VW.

Kinda feel like we know the CL9/CU2 very well here.

Will defiantly keep polo as an option.

CU2 is a nice upgrade to CL9. More kits and more up market. Price should be quite reasonable now that it has been discontinued. In the UK, CU2 has been rated with very good reliability.

[bennjamin]

Much rather a ultra clean CL9 vs a CU2 anyday

[kryptonite]

keeping the options open.

saw this one.

only thing I noted was that timing chain was replaced - does this sound major?
