Upgrading from 1.4 civic to...

[gaz1234]

Something with twice the power and fun?
3-4k budget and sporty whilst not costing much more to run?
Looked at tts but think twice the cost to run...

Suggestions?

My first thought is a Honda type-r of some sort.

I'm thinking ep3 civic type-r. In your budget, buy well and it should be reliable, should be a plenty fast enough step up from a 1.4....

But give us some variables - age for example - and I'm sure PH forum will be more responsive and give you plenty of choice



How about a BMW? 4k will get you a "decent" 6 cylinder E46? Have a long enough look you could even get a 320, 325 or 330 cabriolet - perfect for the summer (ignoring insurance and petrol costs lol)

It's for the woman.
She looked at tt, suggested Suzuki swift and today celiac. Doesn't want type r. Wants "sexy" car..

B18C engine swop with upgrades, then upgrade brakes/suspension and you have a fun car with twice the power.
