Someone has to say it....
Plus you could get one with a turbo or supercharger for that.
Just a bit over budget, but with 220 BHP

Hi everyone,
a friend of mine wants to buy a second car and has around £3500max to spend. He would like something quite quick, reasonably reliable and that's about it in terms of shopping criteria.
He is strongly considering Subaru Impreza Turbo estate.....any suggestions?
Thanks!
What's the car for? And when you say second car, do you mean to own two cars at once, or it'll be the second car they've owned?a friend of mine wants to buy a second car and has around £3500max to spend.

Impreza Wagon would be practical and fast. But if it's a "second" car I'd say it's just a little too ordinary.
£3.5k would get you a nice kit car (Caterfield type or something else), classics (which can be quick), a TVR or something like an ITR DC2.

He runs a 56 plate Honda Accord as his everyday car, so yes own two cars at once. To be honest, I thought the Impreza was a little 'run of the mill'Impreza Wagon would be practical and fast. But if it's a "second" car I'd say it's just a little too ordinary.

In that case:-will it be kept outside?
-how many miles a month will it be used for?
-for what use, or where will it be used?
-why do they want a 2nd car?
-will it need to haul anyone or anything, of so how many seats/boot size?
-how long do they plan to keep it and are residuals important, or indeed ease of selling it on?
-do they like to tinker on their own car?
-do they want to modify a car?
Cars I'd consider:
-MR2 Turbo MKII
-DC2 ITR
-TVR 350i
-GTM Libra
-Robin Hood 2B/Locost
-Jeep Wrangler 4.0
-Land Rover 90
-Triumph TR7 V8
