She who must be obeyed is considering a interesting car

So 2 door coupe/softop like something

budget 20Kish on the never never or 7Kish cash

Reliable

Not an audi

Not too hard to get in and out of

Not an audi

Reasonable ground clearance as we live up a farm track

Not an audi

Softish suspension as we live up a farm track

Not an audi

Reasonable fuel consumption as it will be a daily driver but not a diesel unless ultra reliable

No stupidly large wheels

Can live outside


Currently thinking MX-5 or a GT86

Doesn't like a 350Z

oh and not an audi

Would a 1-series coupé fall within this budget?

Or was the requirement for "coupé" for something with more sporty styling, rather than just strictly 2 doors?
I think german cars are out due to the lack of actually having suspension

Yep I agree but seem to fit the requirements. Plus looks like it has decent ground clearance.fallen out of the ugly tree, eaten by the ugly beast and then poohed onto the floor in the form of a car

Well it looks like german cars aren't out as she bought a 2ltr Z4 softtop


We shall if it makes it to the house with our spine intact
