Cheap RWD FUN..... £6K MAX

[Turn7]

Looking for a fun toy. Outright speed not crucial, ability to go sideways at will is.

Max budget £6k.

Suggestions and reasoning please.....

Rx8, cheap to buy and plenty of aftermarket parts available to turn it into a track toy.

RWD, torquey, has a proper engine?

I'm sure you could haggle the £489 off...

A little extra caution would be in order with that dealer if the many reviews are to be believed.

I guess a Z4 might be an obvious choice or perhaps a 500 or 55 merc for a bit more comfort.

Just say it'll cost £489 to fix the wonky number plate

Thanks for your informative post....

E36 M3 all the way.

[GraemeP]

Might that get you in to an E39 M5 or E46 M3? If not, 330 E46? Nissan 350Z?

You didn't say it had to be practical, so what about a Westfield with a Zetec donkey?

Porsche Boxster S

Or if you're the window licking type save 5k and buy a leggy big engined saloon e.g. e34 540i and weld the diff.

Practicality not an issue ,track slags welcome subject to road legality.

Reliability important, and a westy is very possible , but as I'm not a small chap, I'm not sure about comfort and fit...

[Polariz]

Something like this would whet the appetite surely...

High miler 130i might be that low?

are the performance figures on that ad correct? 328bhp? 0-60 in 6.5 seconds? i assumed they were a bit quicker than this...

It's summer.
Get a soft top.

S2000.
Probably the most sideways happy car in the world.
