Looking for something quick, fun, reliable for around 2k
Discussion
Hello PHers
I will be looking for a car in the next few months and can't help but look already.
I have been out the country for a while but when I lived here I had a 315hp S14 which I loved. So I want to get something that's got a bit of pace and fun the drive but something I can commute in and fix myself.
I have been looking around and I see a lot of Audi TTs in my area as well as a lot of 3 series BWMs. They both suit my needs but I wonder if anyone has any other suggestions. I know the 1.8TT has 225hp and can be mapped to 265hp quite easily, but I would need to mod it to give it a more manly look. I do like the idea of a 3series, but not sure about repair costs and if they have all been ragged also not sure which one to get and they seem slow.
Anyway, would love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks

From experience nothing will match your S14 for fun factor. I've not had anything since that was as much fun as mine was. Mine was only 250bhp aswell!
Yeah I figured, ill get something quick again one day. I think I am leaning towards an e46 330d at this point, not that I want a diesel but from what I see (and have been told) they are pretty quick and great of fuel.
That or a mk2/3 mx5.
