So I'm looking to buy two cars:

1. A daily drive car for all my daily driving needs.

2. A "weekend" car to drive and have fun days.

For the weekend car I'm edging towards a MK2 MR2, but I'm not sure what to have as my daily.

I'd personally like something with bluetooth, climate control and all the features, but I don't want a car that's going to depreciate heavily in the next couple years. The perfect example of a car is something with good MPG with all the nifty features. It doesn't have to be the quickest car but I also don't want something that's going to take 4 years to reach 60mph.

My budget is around £5000 - £10,000 give or take.

If anyone can suggest something with minimal depreciation + cool features I'm all ears. Or should I say eyes?

Thanks guys,
- Callum

Petrol or diesel? Hatch, SUV or coupe?

Lots to choose from but for the hatches off the top of my head....

Mk 6 Golf GTi

BMW 1 Series 120D

Megane RS250

Then there's all the other hatches like Focus, Civic, DS3, Mini, Fabia and Corsa.........

Hi Callum I'd get one car with your budget & it would be the RS250 Megane Lux with the Cup Chassis fitted or a good alternative is the Focus ST-3 both will daily with ease & prove a ball on weekends.
