Right, I'm thinking of getting a new car in the near future, and I know you guys are going to say "stick with a Micra", but I thought I'd ask anyway. 
Right, what I want is.....
-small hatchback
-Japanese
-£5000 or less to buy
-bit quicker than my K11, doesn't have to be mega fast though
-preferably newer than my K11, would prefer less than 5 years old
-a few mod cons, leccy windows etc
So far I've only really considered a K12 or a Yaris. If it was a K12 I got, would have to be a "SE" trim level minimum, either 1.2, 1.4 or the 82psi diesel. If it was a Yaris, I think I'd only really consider the Tsport. Insurance isn't an issue at all, I'd just like to stay a bit practical, we already have the Skyline as an impractical car. I've considered getting a MK2 MR2 or a 200sx, even got a quote on an EvoIII the other day, but tbh they're probably a bit fuel thirsty for me - I only use about £15 worth of petrol each week. lol
My financial situation means that I have to get a loan to get a car (my choice, I want a new car). If I was to get a loan now, some of it would be used to pay off my credit card debt, as I couldn't afford to pay the credit card debt and the loan off each month (only £700, not thousands or anything). I keep thinking maybe I should wait until the credit card is paid off, then get a bigger loan to get a 160SR......are they worth spending an extra 2 or 3 thousand to get one? I'd have to wait until at least after Christmas to do this too.
Throw some ideas at me.....please! :laugh:
