£5K sports coupe?
Discussion
Have just sold my bike engined kitcar, now thinking of selling the CLK55 AMG, and getting something that handles/ a bit more predictable!
Budget of up to £5K, would prefer less.
Must be RWD or 4WD (I would quite like to try 4WD)
Decent amount of power, does not have to be as powerful as the CLK55 but no 4 cylinder's
Decent sound track
Decent interior.
No ticking time bombs
Will only be used weekends etc, so will get little use.
I am a little stuck, all I can really think of is possibly Mitsubishi GTO? Celica GT4?
Anyone any suggestions?

you'd get a nice e36 m3 for that money. bit dated, but well built and good fun.
I have a mr2 rev 3 turbo for weekend giggles. Incredibly easy to get up to 300bhp and it's blisteringly quick and very solid. £5k will get you a minter, £3k will still get a very good one.
If you consider these, make sure it's rev3 onwards as the reliability and power is very different to earlier cars.
I've also owned an integra dc2 and thought that was brilliant fun, buts it's fwd. dont let that put you off. the lsd on those are cracking, one of the best cars ive used in snow also! I actually think they're a bit of an investment now too.

Great call on the 350Z, I assumed they would still be £10K+ They look a bargain at around £5K?
If this wasn't in Scotland, I would be on my way to buy it!!http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/n...

Well I'm biased but this is surely the best bargain when it comes to speed per £.If you consider these, make sure it's rev3 onwards as the reliability and power is very different to earlier cars.
350Z is heavy and not exactly a fun weekend car.

B6 Audi S4 Convertible?
Not a bad handler, and with a 340 bhp V8 and a manual gearbox its pretty interesting!
Correction. With the manual gearbox it's absolutely shocking. The auto is much, much better suited to the car. Sadly, the manual just ruins it due horribly mis-matched gear ratio's (1st is close to pointless and 6th will see you doing 4.3k rpm at 80 on the motorway) and the most awful gear change in any car I've driven.Not a bad handler, and with a 340 bhp V8 and a manual gearbox its pretty interesting!
I've owned a B6 S4 Avant auto and B7 S4 Cab manual, so have direct experience of both
