The best daily use sub 50 grand junior Supercar?
Discussion
I'm thinking Audi R8?
I guess the options are the R8, a Ferrari 360, a 911 GT3, Honda NSX or an aston V8 vantage.
The brief is it must be up to daily use, I've owned garage queens in the past & you just end up never using the buggers!
The problem with the Ferrari & Aston are there is no dealer/servicing specialist near me (nearest probably an hour away) & I'd feel a bit self conscious driving them to work.
The Porsche would mean realisticly getting a 996 for the price & I think they look s
t with their crappy headlights, though I could be swayed 
the 997 that I much prefer are really above the 50 grand limit.
A Honda NSX would be lovely but their are never any for sale!
Anything else? Manual gear change is a must!

997 prices are hovering around the £25k level at the older end. Plenty of choice for under your budget, and probably more of an all rounder than a R8 imo.

Interesting choice actually but with doubts over lotus's future I wouldn't go there. No local dealers either.PaulHogan said:

Had one & didn't really like itKiller2005 said:
Surely a GTR must be on the list too
As said I want a manual. Love them & I've driven many ring laps in my mates but I wouldn't have one myself 
i would be different and stick to the NSX.
