Default Looking to spend 8-9k
I'm in the market for a new Scoob and have 8-9k to spend.

What car would you all suggest within my budget? Just looking for ideas

Matt

Yeah I've had a widetrack in the past and loved it and wouldn't mind another 1, but also thinking maybe a jdm sti although I'm not sure about how different both cars are in terms of the way they actually drive. Are jdm models generally more £££s to insure?

Ideally standard, but I would consider lightly modded if the right car came up

Yes, huge amount.

Lots of good JDM threads on here to read about their plus points and why they are soooo much better than the poverty spec uk cars.
