To be honest with you, for the money you've got to spend, getting high power jap is going to be a bit hit and miss and you could end up with a right old dog and as a daily hack it wouldnt be ideal. You could probably get a nice BMW E36/E46 325i or 328i which would be real smooth and poky as well.
Have you looked at the older beemers!? Half of them are hanging out their fucking arse!
Why would you end with a dog through going Jap? It's bull...
Nothing wrong with a high powered car for everyday use, if they are properly looked after they are fine and fun everyday!
