I've actually got to the stage where I am genuinely bored with the daily cars I have. I don't really look forward to driving any of them.

I really want something that is brilliant to drive - a genuine grin-inducing daily, where the commute up and down the A2 won't seem like a drive into the abyss of middle age and death. hehe

I tried a Fiat 500 595 - didn't like it. I also tried a new MX-5 - didn't really like that either. I thought I might try a Fiat 124 but the dealers are so awful they think they are trying to sell you a Veyron.

I want something properly different, but still comfortable, that is either beautiful to look at, or interesting to drive. Doesn't have to be mega-quick, or mega-frugal, but I just want it to be interesting.

Even if it's odd to drive, I don't really mind. Just something where I get out of it after 90 minutes and don't feel like i've been driving an appliance.

many thanks for the help.

But.

A Lotus Elise?

Maybe an Evora, yes, but an elise?

Any other suggestions? (scuttles off to look at evoras)

interesting car history.
i guess power is important to you?
also handling?

Problem with getting too racy for street use is that you can't really exploit the car, keep your licence etc. race car for the circuit.
so how about a contrast? 2CV? Morgan?
As a daily? a 2CV? a Morgan? Come on chap, fine cars they may be, but as a daily?

The route isn't the problem! Driving in the south east is crap on many many routes!

Like the idea of a 7-series. I have a convertible XJS already and that, is most definitely, not a daily!
