Yes, the 480 is a very nice car. Might still be able to get one for a few hundred down Whitley bay.

The Scion XA kinda looks like a good looking Suzuki Swift IMO

Just looks like an MPV tbh.

It looks a little like a Swift, but bigger of course.

4.0L tvr chimaera (5.0 is a possible but not low milage)
honda S2000 if you find a bargain, usually go around 12k. not the best looking but a damn fine car all round

mega insurance costs tho, all group 20 afaik

 :shock:  

I dont know why but I really like the last renault laguna.  The 2.0 IDE model seems a bargain at Ã,£3-5000.

That and the Volvo S60 T5 tbh.

As an mr2 owner id actually agree with the RX7 post above, they are superb looking cars, probably better than the mr2 (all as standard) but tbh you can change the looks hugely with a decent set of alloys anyway.


I nearly bought one instead of my mr2 but was put off by the stories of rebuilds, rotor tip problems, and the nightmare economy.


The points about reliability in that report are true though, its my third year owning the mr2 in june and its not caused me a spot of bother once

Quote from: SeriousA rear quarter view of the Volvo 480ES, very nice even from this angle and a good example should cost under Ã,£2K.
