New Motor Idea's
It's new car time,
Got a budget of upto £7500 and looking for something smallish nippy and fun, fave at the mo is a Seat Ibiza 1.4 ACT FR 140bhp but just wondered if there are any other suggestions in and around that price bracket.
Many Thanks

£7,500 will easily buy you a sub 70k mile Porsche Boxster S 3.2
Lots of fun, 250bhp and you won't lose any money on it.

SRADs have gone up in price, I'm trying to remember how much I paid for a P reg one in 2001, about £2K I think, lovely bike, traded it in for a GSXR750K2 that handled better, but the injection wasn't as good as the SRAD's carbs.

I know diddly about most cars,but my daughter has one of these and on quiet back roads it's like a go-cart!
I borrowed it recently,but I didn't know her dash cam was running and she was not so pleased with the recorded footage. Oops..caught on.

Re: New Motor Idea's
Yeah, I had one until fairly recently. Wasn't just the best FWD-handling car I've had, but definitely one of the best full stop. You're not going to be able to go much quicker on a twisty road in anything really. A little cheapy inside, pretty firm ride and image obviously not that mature, but otherwise a great car, especially given the running costs.
Re: New Motor Idea's
Do you mean the STs?
Most are, but depends what's too high for you. There's one with 40k and several in the 50s for £7500 or less.
