Hi all

Its time to draw my horns in and come the end of July the S2000 has to go

Im setting myself a limit of £8000 for my next car as I want to pocket the difference for a house deposit(well some of it)

So rules of the game:

Preferably sporty, pref do 30-40 mpg, no imprezas or expensive to run cars...........the rest is open

Im thinking clio 172 sport right now???

As you're liking the VTEC thing, what about an Integra Type R (DC2)??

There should be a few late model ones in that price range!

*** Excuse my poor memory, I've just realised you had one before!! ***

how about a toyota starlet glanza v, similar power to a scooby if you compaer power to weight.

172? A mate has had one less than 3 months and it was towed into Renault again the other day for the third time Look nice but I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole!

C2 VTS bargain. real avg 30-35mpg. clio is not very nice to drive imo.

If you buy a french hatchback you can enjoy good handling, cheap running but only when it runs which is the down side. The obvious one for me would be a Skoda Octavia vRS or if you are a badge snob, a Golf GTI either 1.8t or 130 TDI.

Octavia vRS

2002 SKODA OCTAVIA 1.8 VRS,
52 reg. 24000 miles, leather interior, e/w, e/h/mirrors, climate/computer, 6 CD, 17 alloys, stainless exhaust, K&N induction kit, FSH, Taxed Aug, VGC. £8,200 . o.n.o.. (07947) 350858

Lotus Elise - looking at similar myself.

I'm thinking about something in a similar range before long... don't really want to spend much more than that. It needs to be a bit sensible.

Thinking maybe Octavia vRS at the mo. They seem like good value.

Is the latest shape MR2 in this price bracket?

Or the facelift Cupra R?

Brendan Hughes

Do you have another practical car? Shopping, trips to dump, etc?
