As title really if you had 10k in cash to go spend on a sports car, what one would you buy and why?

Looking at, reasonably fast, two or 2+2 seat cars with more than 4 cylinders turbo or n/a. Is it possible to buy a car with flappy paddle semi auto gearboxes?

 

Evo for me.

Mark

 

Me too

 

But... why an Evo?

 

can get a cheap E46 M3 for 10k but i think it will be a bit rough or really high miles

 

Drive one

Mark

 

would have to be an escort cosworth for me, my dream car

 

Why not? There quick, handle well quite realiable for what they are and you can leave it in a car park while you do the shopping then put it in the boot and go home

 

Mark one Focus Rs and keep the change to keep it tip top

 

So far I have asked for opinions on 2 seater or 2+2 seater sports cars and basically I have gotten 4 seater cars.

Attention to detail Fail

All worthy cars, but any other suggestions?

 

I know it's not 4 cylinders but what about an Rx7?

Or an Audi S4?

 

focus RS as they have more than four cylinders as the OP said

 

wouldnt be buying another car, be buying parts for the fuckers I already have

 

Thats not a bad idea Saw one the other day and it looked good to me.

 

A nice moonstone 3dr for me

 

*mk 2 5 cylinder

 

just read the heading, did i meantion the escort cosworth would have the
rear seats removed does that count ??
if not would have to be an RS200

 

2dr ST, Great car fat power band.

Mark

 

oh 2+2 how about an Audi TT then

 

for 10k! You on smack?

 

Just what I was thinking more like Ł200k

edit, just noticed the Elise is a Cat C.

 

A Elise is a good fun car not much real grunt as its light it doesnt need much.

Didn't think of an elise, nice suggestion, however I'm 6ft 3ins and would have to be double jointed to fit in it!

 

Still for 10k? Nah!

This one is 10.5k
