Feel like a change.

[R1 Indy]

Been driving a diesel Alfa 159 for the past 2 years. Now feel a bit bored and feel like a change.

Doesn't need to be a diesel anymore, would prefer a petrol with a nice soundtrack.

MPG not too important but near 30 would be nice.

I have a Superbike engined kit car as my fun car, so this will just be the "sensible" car.

But would like decent performance, preferably RWD, auto or manual.

It needs to be able to tow my kit car on trailer, which weighs around 1200 KG's.

Oh and a nice beige leather interior would be nice, but could probably cope without

Budget of £3k.

All I can think of is a 330/530. BMW.

Is there anything else out there? Just fancy a nice fun car that can tow.

Cheers

Until I got to the end I was thinking 330i (Touring my preference) or possibly an e39 5 series.

It does seem the obvious choice, but just feel like something a bit more "fun". But the requirement of a towbar seems to limit choice.

Also it doesn't need to be a saloon, a coupe etc would Be ideal.

Actually stuff the towbar, I can hire a van for a couple of times a year I do a track day.

What's the most fun Sportscar I can get for £3k?

Nice sound track, performance and rear drive. Obvious choice is of course a 6 cylinder Bm. How about a V8 Merc CLK? A super-charged Jag XJ? Mpg is more like 25 at best on those but it's a starting point.

164?

If I was to p my budget to £4k I could just about squeeze a early Honda S2000. Or even a porche boxter or RX8.

Now I understand both the RX8 and boxter are likely to blow up.

But what about the S2000? How reliable are these with some miles on them?

Btw I would rather a sports type car rather than a saloon.

If you are upping the budget to 4k and ignoring the 30MPG (an RX8 will never achieve that)

Do RX7's come into the mix? Also I think some 350z's are heading that way.

S2000 is a good shout. Or you could get a mint mr2 turbo, and they are a lot of fun and genuinely fast.
