Does your list have "Cars to buy that break a lot" written and underlined at the top of it?

If it does, just above the Fiat put "Any Alfa Romeo" and "Any K Series engined Rover".

How come no one sujests the crx??????????

Its quicker than all those in your list, twice as good on petrol, miles more reliable, cheap insurnce, a perfect little run about.

as alps said vtech could be a good car for you but im sure there either a love or hate thing with hondas just depends on your driving id say? as im sure alps likes to give his cars death and revs the tits out of it for him to be saying there so good but some folk like rush of a turbo i think as doesnt seem like your killing the car as much was your turbo tuned or was it standard? as if it was standard im sure youd be happy with any of the cars above

already feeling like that looking on the drive and it seems so empty. Can I justify it to the wife though. I need to be able to drive it every day. I have been told I can have one car only not two or three as before.

Get a Nissan 200sx S13, fun drift cars (RWD) and you should be able to get one round that price which is stage 1 with around 230- 240 BHP
