Stevens S3 NA, S4 or GT3 (just trying to settle an argument and want some professional input!) I would have said the S3 NA, due to it's lack of turbocharger, but I may be wrong.

well my GT3 does 27-28mpg, and front tyres are £50 each etc etc etc, and parts can be sourced from other places like sjsportcars. so pretty damn cheap

amazes ppl with rice rockets, like my misses scooby only does 20mpg on a good day etc etc etc

Figure for some degree of luck here.
My N/A S3 cost me £5k in first six months. But if i then sold it to you straight afterwards,you would have had four years of mainly stress free motoring.
And,obviously,if the original owner had kept it six months longer,he'd have got the bills and not me.
Wonder why he sold?...

On the tyre thing,look down to my G-car tyre thread below too,want to know more.

My site, www.adrianmugridge.co.uk has my GT3 running costs over the last 5 years, all itemised into parts and labour.

Just thinking, I keep hearing about Exotic car warranty programs. Can you get one of these warranties even if the car is used and lets say a 93-95 Esprit? If so, where and how much, what do they cover? Is it worth it?

aftermarket waranties are a scam. like swiss cheese. The part that broke is not covered.
