I want some more motors to tickle my fancy smile

I currently own a Vauxhall, so i want to move away from the brand...

I want:

* Atleast 100bhp
* Petrol/Diesel considered
* Good handling
* Preferably low weight
* Under £2k
* Upto insurance group 14

The top of the list is currently Saxo VTS. Although Ford Puma 1.7 or an old MX5 still tickle my fancy as a kind of oddbox. Does anyone know any car's i have missed?

I'm 18, so no silly silly suggestions please smile

Danny

MX5 is far more appealing than a Saxo on many levels; you'll thank yourself next summer too!

Probably get around 30mpg from the MX5 but general running costs are not expensive.

If insurance is an issue, ensure you get a UK mx5 not a Eunos, as I found insurance was almost double for the imports.

We have both in the household and the MX will get picked every time as the car to take
