So I am planning to get a new car latest in February and I am very excited about it but I can't really make up my mind.

I am willing to spend up to 10k monthly loan payment and I need at least 300hp.

Please give me some ideas. I don't have a family, so I don't need lots of space but I still prefer having 4 or 5 seats. I also like convertibles.

ag man, there are so many really rich people in SA, I feel like a punk compared to them. I live 2 roads next to the Rupert family, am surrounded by Bentleys, R8's, Ferraris and Royce's. I really don't flaunt, I am just excited that I'm finally able to get a proper car again.

RS4 is cool, but it is more or less outdated already. Sti? No, too expensive for a that kind of car, still hot though.

Yeah RS4 is a little outdated tbh. You could wait for the RS3 - dont know when its due though. Maybe S5?

(Yes I am a big Audi fan) :p

z4 coupe, A4 convertible, merc C350, bmw 330i - not enough power.

I will only buy second hand, I would never buy a brand new car because of the drastic loss of value within the first 2 years. I don't keep my cars for longer than 2-3 years.

I rather think M3, M5 or M6 compared to C63, CLS63 and so on.

I am a big BMW fan and my brain is focused on M's but every time I hear the sound of a 63 my knees get weak.

Can't afford GT-R, drove Evo 6 and 7 a few times, love the car but the inside is just so simple. I love lots of buttons, tv, DVD, navigation, bluetooth...

Hehe sure, most people can't afford a GT-R. Just saying that the Evo X is the closest you can get to one :) There's lotsa electronic gizmos and the satnav doubles as the onboard computer display.

It is a beast, with some fine mods this car looks crazy.

SLK55 AMG? Awesome car I always wanted to have. But when I think about driving somewhere I couldn't even take my girl and my brother for a ride at the same time. So 4 seats are a must
