Car suggestions
Discussion
Sorry for yet another car suggestion thread, I'm sure you guys are sick of them lol.
Unfortunately my a4 is starting to die. It's a 1.9 tdi (horrible I know), that was mapped to 150 and 277nm which made it quite nippy but unrewarding when you want a hoon. Anyway the DMF is going so I need something else. I'm 23 and a student so insurance is a concern and budget is realistically about 2k.
Ideally I would love a 330i but in that price range they're pretty leggy and I'm concerned about expensive things going wrong. I want something quicker than my a4 but going from an audi to something like a Clio 172 is going to feel abit horrible to sit in.
I really don't want a turbo again I don't think, much prefer N/A.
I am thinking mx5 for the rwd fun perhaps, bhp per ton is better than the a4. Any ideas much appreciated

Think you need to narrow down your scope a little tbh. Bit pointless anyone suggesting any specific vehicles/models otherwise.
For instance PH classifieds is showing 3682 that meet your current criteria of £2k.

I could get it fixed but the car is 200k plus miles, things are starting to f
k up (egr valve, intercooler went) only a matter of time before the turbo goes IMO, it makes me nervous every time I hear a little noise and its left me on the roadside twice recently. DMF will be expensive so I think its time for a change.
Well Im looking at something that's fun to drive as an old A4 really isn't and i miss my old knakered 1.3 fiesta when i go driving down back roads, so thats why I was swaying towards an mx5. A BMW does seem to tick my boxes, rwd, straight six sound and smoothness, nice interior. Any big issues with a 325ti? I know the M54's can have cooling system issues, is the 2.5 the same?
