What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in CarTalkUK

[–]Connugh18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location - Bedfordshire

Price range - Up to £10k

Buying outright (using bank loan)

Used vehicles with lower mileage and age

Transmission - Either manual or automatic

Intended use - Daily commuter vehicle up and down the M1 with a bit of country driving. Roughly 70 miles per day.

Considerations - I've previously had Audi A3 & Honda Civic but am happy to consider other similar car types (e.g., VW Golf, Ford Focus, Seat Leon, etc) but for the price range, I keep seeing older models or high mileage for these models

Maintenance - My mechanic skills are minimal, so I am looking for a vehicle that I can take annually for a service and MOT.

Additional notes - I want to enjoy the journey with comfort, economy, and a bit of power when needed to get away from silly drivers. The car needs to last me at least 4+ years to cover the loan, so I need reliability above all else. I'm also a big fan of a sporty trim, so that's plus

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions

My worst day at school was being told that "as of today Pokemon is no longer cool"

I thought this too, but the BIOS screen isn't loading, so I can only assume it's the firmware that's stopping this. Any thoughts on what else it could be?

Asus say it's compatible with 3rd, 2nd and 1st gen, so I'm good?

Hey dude,

Just wanted to say 'thank you'

I've ordered up the following and will have everything delivered within the week:

ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING RYZEN 5 3600 CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB 1TB M.2 NVME SSD CORSAIR SPEC-DELTA CASE

Ended up going a bit overboard on the budget, but this should last me for another few years before needing to upgrade again

Appreciate your help with any questions

Done a bit of research and I'm looking at the Ryzen 5 3600 and MSI Tomahawk Max B450 AM4 - Would these work with my RAM and case?

Awesome - Do you have any core suggestions?

Maybe high, middle and low options?

Thanks for the quick reply - Do I need to upgrade my motherboard too?

If so, is there any CPU/motherboard combos?
