Im sorry. No, really sorry what car please?

[Petrol Only]

What I need.

A reliable PETROL ONLY motor for my 14 mile round trip a and b road commute.
Good in the corners.
Comfortable
Good heaters/defrost function as I work shifts.
Open to any brands except french stuff. To many personal nightmares with french stuff.
Max budget 5k but if i dont have to spend it all great

Default MX5 Not Applicable already have one.

So over to you?

[fatboy b]

We've got a 2.0 Diesel version of this. Lovely cars, and handle well.

Clio 182. Maybe the heaters are too crap, the drive to work will make up for it.




Oh, just saw the 'no French stuff' line. Shame.

Honda CTR. Or a DC2 Integra.

DC2 a bit too old now.

EP3 will be the same as any other car, just get one with Air Con so the windscreen defrosts a bit quicker. The engine needs to warm before you give them stick buy it'll sort itself out.

But you drive an mx5 without the same fears?

I cant take the moral highground as I own an mx5 and Mini (my missus drives the Alfa 156!).

I know I genuinely smiled and laughed when I saw you post the mini. There is no rational reason why I wont have one. Iv driven a few and there a real hoot. All I can say is its just not me.
