Yes yes, it's another "what car" thread! Although I must say I always enjoy reading other people's.

Right, I'm after a fun 4 seater that's great to drive and pretty quick. I don't want anything too old or with loads of miles on it. I also don't like large cars, I would actually prefer a two seater, but I need to be able to fit a child seat in the back. Also I don't want to run two cars.

I guess the most important question is budget, up to 15k

Love to hear your thoughts.

The Masser is a nice looking car, buts it's older than I'm after, also most of them seem to be Autos which is a no for me

I'm thinking a megane might fit the bill

I've no doubt the Porsche is a good car, but not for me.

Yes I've currently got a E92 330d mapped to 305bhp and some daft torque figure. It's a great motorway car, but my commute is now much shorter and all b roads.

I've heard some good things about the 130i, I have owned a Z4 3.0 so I understand where your coming from.

Great cars, but I'm looking for something a little bit smaller and lighter. Might have to test one anyway though

Great sounding engine, but my old mk5 GTI felt lighter on its feet.

Just something that's a lot of fun to punt down a b road. I like the GT86,I just wish it was a bit quicker! I'm after a car that's newer than my 2007 BMW.

M135is are high teens still. They were on my shopping list, but I've heard too many people on here say that they aren't very exciting.

The Roc is a good shout, I'm guessing the engine is pretty tuneable. The fiesta is a touch young for me, I'm 37 and should be growing up ha ha.

The TVR would be amazing, but I would imagine it could be a money pit.

I've seen them as low as 18k on autotrader. Few on there now under 20k,just.

I've heard the Subaru hatch has a habbit of blowing up it's engine.

A good shout, but 15k will only buy something that's got a lot of miles on it

Why not find out how much the Renault Sport bucket seats are?
Yeah I guess it would be an easy retrofit

Evo must think of it as a good platform to start with if they are going to turn it into a track car.

No not yet. I'm definately going to try a Megane, but only a CUP. I've only got about 14-15k though.
