Looking for suggestions for something fairly speedy and a laugh to drive around £3k.

Sick and tired of driving a Citroen C3....understeers like a supertanker

Was thinking of a Swift Sport but hear they're horrific at motorway speeds. Driving currently is 50% motorway and 50% B roads.

All ideas welcomed but reliable and not too dear on the insurance for a poor 21 yr old with a few years NCB would be good.

Preface lift type r. Dunno about insurance though for a 21 year old, probably worth it though whatever it is lol.

Haha my Father had a MX-5, at 6' 5" I had to drive with the roof down and look pretty much over the windscreen.

325ti, the answer is always 325ti (unless it's V70 or MX5) and with £3.5k you'd get a beauty and still have enough to insure it.
