£5000 budget

[rickyquicky]

Can anyone share a little inspiration...!?

I'm selling my car this weekend, have stuff to pay off, and want to put a little bit of money away...

This means I have budgeted myself around £5000 for a replacement.

What, in your opinion, is the fastest/most interesting/best VFM at this sort of money? What would you buy if you had this budget for a daily driver? The car literally only has to get me to and from work which is about 4 miles a day, plus a little driving at weekends etc.

Any and all suggestions welcome, my only criteria is that it doesnt look like a banger (ideally!)

Extra points for the most original (but still half sensible) ideas!


Cheers!

not sure, but it does mean he's most likely been under the bonnet, maybe the Mrs isn't the problem

Ford locking bonnet, keyhole under the badge

Most fun/reliability/performance you can get for £5k.
(Because I wouldn't want to run an Sti as a daily driver personally).

Maybe you could use the money as a down payment for a Dacia Duster?
