Moin, I’m looking for a golf class car with a powerful motorization. Should be driven by me 2-3 years and 100,000 km. I mostly drive a Ford Focus Diesel. But it should be replaced now. I had the S3 from a mate for just under a month. I like it very much. An alternative would be an RS3, a R32 or a 135i. A GTI falls away because it is too “present” and I would like to have something “more exclusive”. My dream would be an A45, but there are only “empty” cars for my budget. The criteria are the following: a maximum of 40.000€ should be spent, for that it must be the perfect car. Actually I wanted to stay in the price range of 28,000€-30.000€. max 50,000 km max 3-4 years old lots of equipment My driver profile: mainly highway, primarily on weekends, much of it at night Since I don’t know so well with this vehicle class, now I can stand some questions. Where do I get the most car for the money? Which one has an acceptable residual value at the end? Which car has the best overall package? Is this class fit for my driver profile or should I rather look a class higher with a few PS less? Dear greetings and many thanks in advance Edit: Before here comes again stupid sayings I would ask you to refrain completely from an answer.
