Hey,

Ok i'm looking for my next car after driving a mk6 fiesta for 2 nearly 3 years now I'm 21 and getting a bit bored of it now and would like something fun to drive in next but I can't decide whether to go rwd or fwd again I'm quite the over thinker as you can tell lol but I really can't make a purchase. I keep thinking if i went fwd again would i get bored easily but I'm probably only bored of the car i have now as well it's boring and I can't base that off a good fwd car i guess.

I'm mainly just after some fun but not get bored easily saying that i guess it's not the end of the world i could sell it again I'm also after something a bit more retro this time and something to work on as I want to start to learn how to work on cars and do things my self. I will be modding the car what ever I but nothing to crazy for the time being but I'm just completely stuck on what to buy.

Fwd cars I was looking really was mk2 fiesta would be cool to eventually do something unique maybe an engine swap or something later down the line, maybe an old civic.

Budget max is 2k


Rwd cars:

Volvo 340: If i could find one they seem to be harder to find now especially the 3 doors they seem to have disappeared

E30: Maybe if i could find one within budget might be hard

Mk1 mx5.

So do you think I'm overthinking this or what. What else what i gain by going rwd apart from some sideways fun biggrin

Just a hard decision to make, well to me it is

Yeah i am overthinking it. I'm so tempted to get a mk1 mx5 but i do need to ferry family around every now and then which is an issue frown. And i did it need a car to ferry fishing gear around aswell but i haven't been in months so I'm not really bothered about that.

And I was in to drifting but not so much now I'd probably prefer to have some fun in the lanes near me.

The only worry with the mx5 is i may need to ferry people around every now and then but well mainly like family birthdays but i guess I could just leave that lol. I'd rather have my fun.

I have some fun in my 1.4 mk6 but i guess there's a limit to it wink

How much do you reckon you can actually get in one space wise in an n/a mx5?

340 Volvo? Really? I had one 15 years ago is it was st then. It was a giggle to drive when you were wanting to be silly as you could get it to drift at the drop of a had, but in every other way it was both objectively and subjectively rubbish. Slow, noisy, uncomfortable, bouncy, unreliable, cold and with a poor interior. It wasn't even that safe as it was not a true Volvo, but a Daf.
Aha they're not the best then

I'll have to have a good think, thing is I'm terrible at decisions as I suffer with anxiety frown

I just feel bored in general atm that's why I can't decide but Obviously you can't judge a car till youve driven it.
