In that case, look at an Alfa GTV. Prettier than the Fiat Coupe (to my eyes at least!).
Blue with tan Momo. Get the 3.0 and use the rest for unleaded and making it perfect.http://www.pistonheads.com/Gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

If you want to attract wimen, then I suspect you won't do better than convertible morris minor, and they are available in manual to. Sorted 
Jay Leno says the only one of his collection that has women draping themselves all over it is his XK120FHC, but you won't get one for 10K.When I was shopping for a Supra for a mates Misses I was amazed at how many women in the showroom seemed to lust after those. Young couples where he'd be looking at a Yaris or what ever it was back then and she'd be drooling all over the Supra.
The only car I've driven where I've had women come and chat me up while sitting in traffic was an XJS convertible.
But your probably right with a convertible morris minor. Even a normal one seems to get friendly attention.

Since this is in Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes my suggestion is a Renault Alpine GTA Turbo.
LadyB8 veto'd one of these when I looked. The only way she thought she could get in was by crawling on all fours and wasn't sure it would be possible in a skirt without attracting even more attention. She also managed to get her skirt caught on the handbrake when trying to get into the drivers seat. So a veto it was.A mate who had one loved his.
so you want something for a young person, so insurance may be an issue ?
-4 or 5 seats "that's the 2 seats out of the list then"
-coupe / sporty looking saloon "sounds like a BMW or AUDI there"
-ideally around a 2L, maximum 2.5L engine for fuel consumption - little off is okay, not american muscle "Turbo Diesel it is then"
-not something that will make others my age jealous (porsche), but will still head turn (skyline) "XF Jag it is then"

Thank you so much to everyone that helped out, posting here, I learnt a bit more about cars just from your posts too that I had no idea about before as well!
To everyone that posted examples that I didn't specifically reply to: I had a look at your suggestion and it just was not to my taste, but rest assured, I have read everything everyone posted
Ultimately I stumbled on a suggestion not written on here, but from a mate: THE Nissan Silvia S15

Head over to driftworks http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-cars-sale-pr... and look at the cars for sale there, there are loads of cars like this and similar ones you may also like.
Have you considered the Integra DC5? I took the other half's out today for a blast for the first time in absolutely ages.
There is something very, very satisfying about overtaking on A roads at 8,500 rpm, with the noise that accompanies it. Ridiculous levels of reliability as well.
They also turn heads like you wouldn't believe.

t I'm after This thread is for a year or two's time, when I've done a year in industry in unay and saved a s
t ton of money for it. I'm about to buy a Peugeot 307 for my 2nd car when I'm back home from unay for now so it plenty of time to pick between the twoThe thread seems a little premature if you haven't yet acquired a degree from 'unay' and have several years of professional studies / exams to do before you become a 'young professional' having achieved the success that said vehicle is going to shout about?
Which profession do you intend pursuing after graduating?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, how will you afford to purchase and run two cars whilst studying at 'unay'?

Can you stop calling cars "boom" Makes you sound a little like a tt I'm after This thread is for a year or two's time, when I've done a year in industry in unay and saved a s
t ton of money for it. I'm about to buy a Peugeot 307 for my 2nd car when I'm back home from unay for now so it plenty of time to pick between the twot to be honest. If you're on a budget, the DC2/DC5 Type R's are the cars to go for. Otherwise I'd say get an SR engined car. S15/S14. Or if you want retro cool, go for an S13.
The engine not being over 2.5 is a little daft, and seriously limiting what you can get, and if it's only a weekend car, it shouldn't matter what MPG you're getting, you hardly drive it on the commute do you. By your own admission you've got a daily hack for that.
Personally, i'd be looking at something like a 6 series BMW, or even an 8 Series, IMO both good looking, but larger engines. 4.4 V8 in the 8 series but looks like a proper sports car, and has pop up headlights.
