if you had 10-12k to spend on a car
what would you get ? I'm selling the 3 door cos it just dosent get used 
I want something that wont brake every 5 min and constantly having my hand in my pocket.
only thing I probs deffo wont have is a scoob as they have chocolate pistons
dosent have to have crazy power either 280-350 would do lovely for a road car any more than that would just be a waste.

280bhp Scooby is an awesome car and VERY reliable if properly maintained IMHO
You could get an RA limited edition (with non choclate pistons and a great gearbox) for not much over half what you are spending.
Great value for money IMHO

Could get an absolute weapon of a skyline for well under Ł10k, which would be everyday reliable and very easily produce 350+bhp with minor mods

Scoobys havent got chocco pistons, just more internet rumour/bullshit like half the other car info around.
Id get an evo if it was my money n thats what i want.
No i wouldnt, id get a nice E36 M3Evo and spend the rest on drink n drugs (ok, and a set of dished 19s, coilovers, etc etc)

after an audi S4 myself, seems to fit the bill, as i cant be arsed with cars (fixing them ) but dont want something crap, 300bhp with a remap, and shouldn't brake, 10-12k should get you a late 2000/2001 with all the options
