Just my 2p's.
But from what i've found any sports orientated car for circa £1000, is probably gonna need more money spent on it to keep it on the road!! So it won't be cheap!!

Damned good cars for the money. Amusingly, I hear Nissan launched the 200SX as a rival exec car to the Mondeo. silly

Ive been very happy with mine.

Preludes are very reliable for there age, and for £1000 you can get quite a good car if you search around enough.

If you buy a UK car insurance will also be quite cheap (I pay £280 and im 26)

Probably not the coolest car you can buy, but the 4th gen cars dont look too dated and the handling is very good for a FWD car.

www.preludeuk.co.uk for more info biggrin
