Oh and our housemate has an Astra OPC so no point in having 2. Perhaps a focus ST?

350Z. Great car, big V6 engine, lovely interior and really good handling, it's super easy to have a laugh in it. The brakes are pretty good too if you get an Irish/English non import one (there was different spec levels in Japan, but we only got the top spec one)
Richie in ProParts had a 350z for 5 years reckons its the best car he owned and only had to change the altenator or starter (or somethig small) in that period of time!!
He has a big budget Shane for a nice car tell him to ditch the rx8 idea.
What about an Evo? If its weekend only. Golf gti?
Plenty of good cars out there :cool:
He'd easily get one in that budget with change to spare ,but if I had to choose from what he has above id go s2000 is he based in england or irelandQuote:

He wouldnt be into Evo's/scoobys. Golf Gti perhaps but theyre fairly commonQuote:

The RX8 is awful.
Not fast. No torque. Drinks oil. Terrible fuel economy.
And you'll not find a mechanic anywhere that will touch that rotary engine if something goes wrong.
What about the Gen 2 Mazda 3 MPS??? Bit iffy on the syling front but they have 280hp out of the box from the 2 litre turbo.
He has a 06 corsa with 50k km on the clock so either way it's going to be a step up for him lol.Quote:
