The Impossible Dream??

[cobra kid]

After a bit of soul searching, I think I may have finally been tempted away from modern oil burners as my next motor. Mainly due to the mileage I cover each year making it not that cost effective. It would take 6-7 years to break even.

Several people have advised me to keep my 51 plate Vectra I have owned for the last 5 1/2 years as I know it inside out, am the 2nd owner and it has "only" covered 91k miles.

Problem is I am hankering after something interesting now that there is a few quid in the bank.

Interesting
Fun
Mid-sized
Petrol
Circa 38-40mpg
Room for 4
Budget of 3-5k


Go for it peope of PH....fill your boots for me.

I'm not being funny, but is that really interesting and fun?!?!

Rover 213S.

Seats five, more fun at the speed limit than my old WRX at twice the speed limit (on a track officer), easilly does 40+mpg, cheap (classic) insurance and a lot less than £3,000

E36 m3 but you might struggle with the 38-40 mpg.

I'm not joking the car fits all the criteria easilly. Just don't allow autoegotism get in the way.

Panda 100HP is a great shout, about the only car that fits all the criteria

[airportparking]

You might have to drop that mpg a bit maybe around 30
