Around £4k budget maybe bit more, not sure what engine looking at but like the idea of a 944, want something but special as a second car for around 3-5k mileage a year second car.

What are 944s like to live with, any other suggestions?

It's hard because I don't really know, I have a car for work so this will be a second car for SDP, budget is £4-5k and could be anything, either hot hatch, coupe or sport car, mpg not so important but not ruinous in repairs,

I like cars that are something different, ie not evo/imprezza or something really common.

Thoughts so far (long list)

Golf GTI Mk1 or 2
Corrado VR6
Racing Puma
GTM Libra
106 Rallye
Whatever that supercharged corrola was called
Porsche 944
E30 325
E36 328
Saab 900 T16
Lupo GTI

That's just top of my head, looking for views on these or things I haven't thought of. Key is can be used few times a week won't cost too much to repair or insure (limited mileage/classic insurance should help) and be fun to drive.

Yeah I do like sleepers, a 20VT converted mk2 golf gti would be cool,
Just be worried about quality of a conversion? BAM engine would be cool.

Or maybe a VR6

Cant get a R32 for that price not one I'd want to own, and they are high target for theft, don't like the civic.
