I have £20k to spend and i was looking at the new civic type r for £19k vs 2005/2006 quattro sport. Any ideas of which would be my best purchase?
Audi has better performance, more class and will not lose as much money. However it is 2nd hand (although i would get some warranty) and not as full of new technology as the civic.
The civic is brand new, absolutely gorgeous inside however not convinced on the outside. It also has 4 seats vs 2 and is cheaper. Help!

From an inide point of view, TT quattro Sports are not a great seller, so make sure you haggle like hell for a good deal...

The one to go for is the worst seller with the recaro buckets.

Totally unadjustable, but fantastic.

Watch for faults with the spoked alloys, as almost every car experienced warranty issues with the wheels having laquer peeling off the rims. The rears are wider than the fronts, so that some gentle understeer can be dialled in as opposed to "woops we're going backwards through a hedge at 90mph oversteer" at the limit, so you can't swap them all around...

Jiggly ride, lots of beans from the engine though, just not much character...

I'd actually prefer the Honda, and I SELL Audis!!

TT Q S is a little disappointing....best thing about it is the reacros which are very similar to those fitted in the 993RS...which is nice
