Considering a sport. Just wondering from people here what there views were on the various models. Have roughly £40k to put in, and had the SUpercharged one this weekend and have to say I loved it - fuel consumption though is absolutely astronomical!!

Are there any must haves on the option list, and should I sod the environment more and go the supercharged route (my current thinking)

ETA - ive seen a few around with square tail pipes. Whats the chat there?

go for a G4 challenge vehicle- they come with serious Kudos and are quite amazingly capable things off road- with a set of MTs on they are virtually unstoppable.

saw this one a short while ago- it was mint http://www.formulacars.co.uk/vehicles/506.html and a £35k you get some change in your pocket- it's not supercharged but neither does it need i don't think.

Unless you want a G4, stay away from the 4.4. It has the fuel economy of the supercharged and the performance of a chipped TDV6. TDV6 is a bit slow, and doesn't really live up to the Sport badge, but it does get 30mpg plus. The s/c has much poorer fuel economy, but if you can afford to run it and don't mind the extra depreciation I'd say go for it, you only live once. Ideally you want a TDV8, a chipped one is almost as fast as the s/c and it has fuel economy in mid 20s, but you're talking about £50k to buy.
