Thank you. I am very glad you liked and chose the Revera
Now, lets continue to the next Round:
[size=150]New Home, new Car[/size]
After i found a new job in Germany, i sold my old Seat Ibiza 1.9tdi and i am mainly using public transportation as way of travel, but the time has come to get myself a new car because i travel lately more outside the city and secondly i just love cars. I never owned a petrol car, mainly because diesel cars were much cheaper to maintain where i used to live, so i am really am looking forward this time for something that does not sound like a tractor . Though there were some points I loved about my Ibiza: It was nimble and light, 1100kg to be exact, and pretty quick thanks to 350NM and 150hp, but there were a lot of things that annoyed me a lot: It was noisy, the suspension was hard, understeered heavily under throttle, and it had traction issues. I also did not not like the plastic interior at all. So i hope i wont get those issues in my new car.
[size=150]Rules and suggestions[/size]
[ul]
] I am looking for a daily driver, something that is fast and fun to drive but can also be comfortable and won’t eat my wallet. /:m]
] Trim Year should be 2014 or 2015. Model and Engine can be older, but be reasonable. /:m]
] My maximum Budget is $26500 and that should include at least a 5% profit for the company. That does not mean i won’t buy it if the car costs $26700, but it will make the decision more difficult for that car. /:m]
] My brain prefers a 4/5 door, but my heart wants a 2 door coupe. It needs to have at least 4 seats. /:m]
] Hatchbacks are fine, but i don’t like a wagon./:m]
] I plan to own the new car for some longer period of time, therefore i hate rust. Environmental resistance should be preferably over 75. /:m]
] Insurance and emissions are expensive. The car should not exceed 300 HP and 80 emission. /:m]
] I will mainly use the car in the city but once a month i travel a 600 km route, so the car needs to be also economical. I would prefer an average consumption of around 8L/100 km./:m]
] I had a manual, now i would prefer a DCT mostly because of comfort reasons, but it needs to have flappy paddels. I still could do with a manual if it fits the personality of the car. /:m]
] The engine should have a reliability of at least 71.0/:m]
] The maximum RON should be 95, since i don’t like paying and additional 20 cents per liter for 98. /:m]
] Engine noise is also something that i value. It shouldn’t be too loud max 45, but i want to hear some music from the engine. /:m]
] The car should be also decently safe. /:m]
] The car must be fun to drive, but i don’t want to crash into the next tree. I will not look at the drivabilty stat alone, but i will examine the complete suspension and drivetrain setup.
/:m]
] Looks are VERY important to me, outside and inside. My girlfriend will most definitely have also some influence here, and she does not like hatchbacks Therefore, Prestige is also going to be valued here.
/:m]
] I would love some technical gadgetry in my car./:m][/ul]
Don’t forget to post at least one picture of your car - again looks and presentation are important. Mods are accepted, if you could the stick to the Quality Essentials that would be cool, otherwise you might need to help me if it does not work.
I am not the most outspoken person - especially in English - but i will try my best. The winner will also get a sweet photoshop of his car.
Deadline is the 13th of March.
