Im looking to spend around 15k on a car but Im not sure what I want scratchchin, something intresting but with running costs that will be reasonable for a daily drive. It does not have to be practical in sense that a two seater is fine, but I would like to be comftable and with some poke


BMW 535d
Porsche 911 (966)
Porsche Boxter
Nissan 350z

Im not a big fan of convertables either, the only reason why I have thought of a boxter is I hear they are good to drive biggrin so far Im thinking of the 966.

i'd have a 3.0 BMW Z4 on the list for sure, convertible or coupe you can get either for that price. Running costs are no worse than a 350z.

You could get a z4m for that price but running costs are a bit OTT i'd imagine.

yeah I forgot about the A5's,whenever I see them around I always think they look quite good. Its shortlisted! Although the Z4 is suppose to be a great car but for some reason, I dont like them.
