Changing Car, Need Suggestions
on: August 06, 2007, 21:05:50 PM
The C2 is gonna be costing me a packet in the next few months so Im jumping ship and selling it nowish. Reckon Ill get about £3000, £3500 tops and I dont want to spend any more than that on what I replace it with.

Ideally want to go Japanese for reliability, insurance needs to be reasonable as does economy (maybe 25mpg+). Im open to suggestions...

If you want something little and fun, Suzuki Swift.  If you want Cheapish and newish, Kia Picanto.

(i) Nissan 200 SX - will be one of the earlier ones - maybe s14a

(ii) MR2 Turbo - get a really good rev 2 for that or a slightly less than perfect rev 3

(iii) Nissan 180 SX - clinker of a one

Quite tempted by a 200sx or a MR2, though would go for a naturally aspirated one for insurance/economy...
