    Are we allowed to talk about cars like this on these forums??? I'm scared to mention the amount of money I've spent on car finance for fear of serious reprisals!!

    You don't need to test drive those three - out of that list, the choice is obvious.... Nissan GT-R every single day of the week, month and year.

    Just be firm - have it firmly in your head that on the day of the test drive you won't do a deal. Even with cars in that price range, worth a few cheeky quotes on Carwow before you go so you know the kind of deals you can chase on each car.

    I suspect the Mustang will have very little discount - I ordered (and subsequently cancelled) a Focus RS (did consider Mustang), and for both cars it seemed they were deliberately stalling in production to inflate demand. The mk3 Focus RS is far more widespread than the mk2, but I think Ford were trying to create false demand by claiming 12-18 month waiting lists.

    E63 is an awesome machine, but if you've done the M5, it's going to be too familiar. GT-R!!

    I did test drive the GTR and regret to say I love my M5 and prefer it over GTR any day .

    GTR was like a go kart. very solid and very basic compared to M5

    when you buy a GTR you are not looking for features ,bells and whisltes but GTR is way too basic.

    the boot or bonet don't have a hydrulic jack.

    seat have minimal adjustablity
    interior looks cheap compared to M5
    dashboard and speed looks like a car from 1990s. In fact it is same as my R34 Skyline GTT.

    It doesn't feel way faster than M5 either. Sources mention GTR does 0-60 in 2.8 and M5 in 4.3

    to be Fair my M5 does it in 3.4 - 3.5 if you know how to get the power down.


    It has tons of grip compared to M5 but that makes it boring I think


    next is E63 and Mustang

    I know Mustang will be sh*t but worth a try
