Z3M Roadster

Z3M! Didn't realise the roadster could be had around that now. Why is it the coupe is so much more legendary? Just how good is the roadster?

Integra type r, massive grin factor at 8k revs and the way it drives is amazing, fantastic on country roads and on track too, I have one as a weekend only car and the fun factor is massive, more so than a lot more expensive machinery I've owned.

Big boot too.

If i had 7k spare, i would invest in a vx220, without a shadow of a doubt.........

I have been camping with the missus in a vx220 for two weeks....

an almost sensible choice while still being a fun choice.

A nice MX-5 in red? They corner quite nicely!

Can you get an Elise for 7k?

You can, but not a very good one.

FWIW I was in a very similar situation to you. Live in London, hadnt had a motor for about 5 years. I bought a beautiful red s2000 a month ago , 35 on the clock, for 10k , and I haven't stopped smiling since - despite the weather. They are fking fantastic. I keep mine garaged outside London which helps MASSIVELY on the insurance, and means I can sleep peacefully without worrying about some Scrote in the street having a go at it.

Seriously - buy one

Every second was a blast when I had mine, something that I realise (currently running a 3 series bimmer) more than ever....oh, and you can fit a tent behind the seats! Did a couple of European road trips in mine, no probs

Was looking at a m5/3 or something in Audi's S division (RS was probably out of my sensible price range) and ended up with a Jag S-type R. Figures on paper are similar to the M3/5 of a similar age but well aware that doesn't apply to anything bar a straight road!

Absolutely sublime V8 with a 'charger and loads of power when required. Not sure it fits your weekend only car unless you're after a relaxed cruiser with a great turn of speed but I'm pretty delighted I chose that as a daily :-)
