Ive asked a similar question in the jap forum on the supra but my choices have widened now.

Current own a Focus ST at the moment with around 320bhp and i want some thing a bit more special.

Hit 25 soon, no commitments, no boot space/5 seats needed, budget 8-10k,mpg not really bothered as long its not under 15 average, used as a daily

All these cars will be tuned at some point as i like to make the car my own, mostly power and handling

Ive narrowed it down to 4-5 cars and just wanted some opinions on my choices

Blobeye Widetrack STi - cheapest to buy, love the boxer sound, cheap to add power

Evo 8 FQ 300 - top of my budget for a decent one, service intervals put me off, suprisingly cheap to insure, better than the impreza in most ways (going by reviews)

Mk4 Supra TT - can get on classic insurance, been my dream car since my childhood, easy to add power to, age puts me off

E90 335i - something a bit more grown up, sleep looks, running costs generally high,

These points are going on what ive researched but hopefully you lot can help me decide. Will test drive them all at somepoint before the purchase.

Thanks

Looks like my choice is a supra, it wont be modified badly, bpu upgrade, a few visual bits, maybe different wheels. Just need a test drive now or a passenger ride

Thanks for the advice all. Need to try both the manual and auto since ive heard the auto is a great.

I know mpg is going to the awful but are they like average? My ST i get about 22 on vpower.

Also whats the difference between the VVTi and the older engine?
