Buying help : Fun & practical for £15k.. PH help please
Discussion
Hi
Been reading PH for many years, but my this is my 1st post.
Looking for a really fun car, fast, but fun / putting smile on my face is main criteria. Budget is £15k max ( ish )
New job .. So now do about 15k a year ..mpg needs to be a good 30+ on a long motorway run.
Currently after enormous research :
Nissan 370z : I hear road noise is an issue, and not sure I can get the mpg.
Alfa Spider 2.4 : Diesel of course so may not go down well here, but , reasonable mpg , faster than all but the 3.2 V6. And this car just looks fantastic. This is my default. Buying with heart, not head.
Really need some advice , some wild cards :
lotus Elise .. Mpg ok .. Bags of fun (more than above) ..but not sure I can use this for 15k miles a year, a daily commuter car.
(Ps .. Not a fan of BMW or Porsche ...and Audi TT looks great ...but I see dozens every day, so doesn't feel "special")
... Welcome open comments in my thoughts on everything above
Cheers
Rich
