What car for 10-13k?

[Viperzs]

Morning ladies!

At the moment I've got a MK7 Fiesta ZS. Although the handling on it is really good, im looking for something more powerful.

My main thought at the moment is a white 200sx S15 Spec R Aero but before I fully commit myself to that car I want some suggestions of what else I could consider.

Im 22 with 5 years ncb.

Nothing Vag and it has to be either sporty or a fun turbo.

Let's see what you can come up with!

pretty much anything.

bear in mind a huge jap twin turbo monster is going to be a fair step up from your fiesta! maybe look for something a bit tamer to begin with?

[benzito]

the usual suspects

i.e e46 M3, audi s4, merc e55 kompressor, 996 911 carrera, audi rs6, audi s3,

something a bit different - jag xkr, maserati 3200 FH

all fantastic in terms of performance, and a huge step up from your current ride, but you've gotta have a bit of fun
insurance will be high but with 5yrs NCB maybe acceptable.

I'd probably go for something like a 130i or Boxster but if yoour a Jap fan I'm sure there must be a load of Evo/Imprezas for that budget.

The S15 is only a single turbo so it's not TOO bad. I have driven a few things with a lot more power than the fiesta and didn't come unstuck.

I do understand what you're saying though! I am very careful when changing/driving different cars. Even when ai got the fiesta I was very careful due to the step up in power from a diesel saxo. Haha

Benzito, fun is definitely what I want!


Ed, I had seriously considered an Impreza P1 as well. Insurance wasn't as favourable as the S15 though.

Im fairly decided with an S15 but i just wanted to see if anyone brought up anything interesting I hadn't considered.

Also no porches. I really don't like them. Haha. I will update that in the original post

Stick with Ford.;)

Go for the ultimate.

An escort cosworth.

On the other hand don't they are terribly unreliable.

HTH.

A late 986 Boxster S or e46 M3 will fit the bill. Both on my drive and available;)

[Viperzs]

Yeah M3 is a possibility. I think I will see if I can have a drive of one at some point to see if I like how they drive.

Inurance isn't particularly good on them for me though.

I found insurance on an M3 far cheaper than a Subaru Impreza WRX, or even a S2000 Honda believe it or not. Try Tesco, they seem cheapest at the moment.
