A Legacy, nice bit of grunt and very spacious
or if your after fuel efficent maybe a 1.5 civic ek3 (40ish MPG if driven in economy mode)

both can be had for less than 2000

 

i doubt you'd want to be seen dead in anything this old





this is my jalopy and with all the ghetto mods/upgrades and the tyres now on it , it will out corner my old S2000

i have done a lot of welding and repaires but even so including buying it, head gasket, clutch, lightened flywheel , painting, insuring it twice and a years tax twice it owes me about

 

they aren't exactly cheap to run as a second car though!

 

What about a nice tasteful two-tone farmermobile 2.5 Subaru Outback?

 

KK / Guzzie / GE2 - Subaru's are a bit thirsty

Boz, that is rather old school

I think I like the Honda option, just not sure what variant. CRX / Civic / Prelude.

The doris is telling me to hang on until she finds out where her next job will be.

Guess she is right, so might hang on a months

Could nitorus the Audi in the meantime though

 

new car every 3 months now Mark you're as bad as me

I'd consider the CRX prelude too, nice and cheap, a good one will run for a while and kind of practical

 

Had the beater over a year now, just worked that out! It must be good.

 

I use a 5th Gen Prelude as my beater Mark and its been faultless. Its comfy, reasonably fast, loads of room and cheap to service Definitely have to be a 2.2 Vtec one though.
