Help with Ultima

[EvoJay]

Hey guys..im looking for a new car. I currently have a 440bhp evo 8. Been looking for something a bit different and a little special. Considered noble ect.

Now i must admit, as shameful as it is, iv never consider'd an ultima. Iv come accross one for sale and its surprised me at how cheap they are..from 25-40k second hand and its quite appealing.

Id be using it alot...most days for driving about and on weekends, occasional track days. Reliability is something im worried about, if it breaks alot then il end up loosing my rag and sellin it.

Could you give me your opinions on this car http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/ULTI...

Do you think it would be reliable to run? This is in the UK. All comments welcome.

Kind Regards

Jay

I have a 440bhp evo...im bored. I am pretty much set on a lotus exige S now as a daily driver...but come accross an ultima and despite very little knowledge, im still intrigued. They are gorgeous. Not much use to me if its only suitable for very little milleage...I could do 3000 in a month.

Probably more to do with the weight of your shoes than the size of your engine.

Nope, the point I was making is that tuned Evos are very thirsty beasts. Maybe 20mpg on a run but mine did about 7mpg on track.

That they are lol. Mines terrible. I can appreciate people saying get a deisel for big miles but i hate driving around a shitbox and only keeping a fun car for weekend use. Seems everytime im in a daily driver, all sort of oppertunities present themself..as soon as your in the toy, nothing ever happens.

As i said, im set on buying a lotus exige S, but hoped the ultima might be ok'sh for more regular use.

Cheers for comments guys
