New Car

[MCLAREN KID]

I am looking to buy a new car but I would like something that stands out from normal cars and gets people looking. I hate common cars so I need something different. Something made after 1990 would be best. I have about £2000 to spend and I need something with low insurance and low road tax. My only good idea is a Toyota Sera. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Honda CRX. Great little cars, and not very common these days

Good call. Great car, and your budget should get a nice one! (Cracking handling too!)

2CV.

MX5, MGF - the MR2's a bit steep on insurance.

And as previously suggested the CRX.

If you're eligible for classic insurance, how about a 924?

MX5's and MGF's are way to common but the 924 is quite a good idea.

Facelift FTO - rare, good handling, look nice, go pretty well. I've had 2 and loved them both

A toyota sera is not a good idea, sorry.

classic mini?

MGB?

BMW z3?

Prelude?

Lancia Delta?

Maxda Rx8?

Alfa gtv, fiat coupe, celica, peugeot 205, 309, classic saab, smart roadster, spitfire, mk1 golf, tr7, toyota hilux pickup truck..

If insurance is an issue for you, avoid imports because the premium will be loaded for that alone.

How about a decent classic Mini (like Rob suggested ^^^) or maybe an E30 - both lots of fun and easy to maintain etc?

In a previous thread you said you didn't have enough money to go to a motorshow, now you want a fancy car? What gives?

VTec Prelude with 4 wheel steering. Brilliant car, looks only a mother could love.

[Rabbo]

Corrado VR6. Really the only choice for a 'rado.

Because he's saving up for a car! Duh!

I hate to think what he'll do about unexpected repair bills if he can't pay to go to a car show!!

Is it half-term or something?

I do have enough money! What I ment was it was very expensive just for a car show.

They're common because they're good, makes them cheap too. Besides they still stand out.

You might get a reasonable 944 for this money too.
