Based on the OP's indecision I'd suggest a
Honda CR-Z
Although obviously not this goping example

That picture is just vile, I swear I'm going to be sick....

But I do like the CRZ standard and I have considered one but aren't they outside my budget but like 2k? I haven't looked at one for ages but last time I checked they were going for like 8k

Hi sorry,
There are a couple under £6k on autotrader but yes either break the piggy bank or starve for a few weeks saving smile

I'd also shout out for the Toyota Sera if at around £1.5
Great town cars both

I do like these but they seem rather.... Slow
Not that it's a problem, but when the doors are the best part of the car, something may be wrong. I'll add it to the list but I'll need to drive one to be convinced

Its more about the dynamics on the SERA. Its a well balanced and revolutionary car and it has a panoramic targa top and special doors, helping it to have a very very very low drag coefficient. It looks special and makes you stand out. Its not really that slow either.

If I did go for that I'd end up spending a couple of grand cleaning it up to near new condition

It's clean up time I think. Here's the list so far:

Chrysler crossfire Coupé
Hyundai Coupé Siii V6
Renault wind
Ford cougar V6
BRABUS Roadster Coupé
Ford puma (no rust)
Toyota Sera
Daihatsu Copen
Renault Avantine
Nissan Murano
Fiat Coupé
Fiat Barchetta
(Discounted Lexus SC430 as its too much to run, Discounted the Cappacino as its just too small, Discounted the Nissan Vel Saits as its just not my thing)
So let's narrow this list down, so convince me what I should and shouldn't have.
Cars I'm keeping on the list no matter the suggestions, so the others are up for debate:
Crossfire
Hyundai
Murano
Cougar V6

Seriously? After all these cool suggestions, like the Copen and Sera, and maybe a 166, you've narrowed it to down to 4 derv boring cars that are in no way unusual? I'm out.

You can't go wrong with a 206cc (Peugeot, limited production model). Amazing performance and a great handling sports car.

Great image and folding metal roof which makes it more rigid for ultimate handling, or drop the roof for cruising and when you want to impress people or for them to notice you.

Mine was awesome, and they're bound to be collectors cars in a few years, a bit like the old GTi.
Please tell me this is a joke?!?

I haven't discounted them, the four I mentioned are the ones staying on the list regardless and all the others are up for debate

The ones you originally put on the list, and nothing else? What was the point of this thread then?

Subaru SVX is my contribution.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but if those choices still take prime position on your list, then you clearly have a preference for them. So I think suggesting anything else is pointless.

Go out, try those four and buy the one you prefer driving. Simples.

Out of those 4 i'd personally go for the Crossfire, definitely the most unique out of them and RWD to boot, I think the convertible looks best.

The Hyundai would probably handle better but they're not exactly rare.
The Cougar is a bit old now, but you could easily pick one up for sub £1k if you wanted to try one. I like 'em but they just aren't as interesting as the Crossfire.
I like the Murano too, but i'm not a massive SUV fan.

As Blearyeyedboy says, just pick and have a look at those 4, you obviously seem more keen on those than other suggestions.
