Possible next car?

[paddymarsden]

I love the Iggy but i think as its coming to 60k and having owned it for just over 2 years its time for a change of motor! Im looking for the moment as i only plan to change in 3-4 months.

I want to stay Jap but im unsure what i want and need some help from you guys i will probably have about £5-6K and would like something modern within the past 6-7 years.

Ive had this in mind for a long time, 1.8 SC

Anyone have any good suggestions ?

Thanks

those new toyota corrolas are mint and are very very nice cars.

I also like the new suzuki swift they are neat cars aswel.

Rare care paddy, but i wouldnt go with one personally, their figures arent anything to scream about. How about an MR2 or a 200sx?

 

[markbognor]

£650 - Awesome coolness and plenty of pound notes left over to insure and fill with petrol!

 

[Robb]

I was about to call that a pig but after reading that is pretty sweet!

200sx, lexus is200 or a skyline

k12 diesiel? iam starting to like them myself lol.

or a yaris, corrolla t-sport.

unless you want somthing bigger and turbo'd?

Rare car indeed only 250 made. i know what you mean about the power figures and 0-60 etc.

Suzuki Swift is a good car but im not sure how it feels, might test drive one see what the crack is

200sx is too much on insurance, i did a quote that came out at £180 p/m which is v expensive i would like to keep it round the £100 p/m mark.

Not keen on the K12 and i feel i have grown out of K11's. looking around 200bhp and Jap

Mr2 is only 2 seater and i defo need 4/5 seater as i do taxi people round a bit (which i dont mind)

I wouldnt bother with the swift, its not a league apart from your ignis really. It would be going from an ignis, to an ignis+.

Would you consider a modded starlet? You can pick up some very nice GT's/Glanza's with 200+bhp very easily for your price range. Insurance might be a bit too much though. As for that type of power, it's had a fair few bolt ons.

Glanza mate, £60 a month insurance until you crash it then it goes up slightly or keep the iggy! pretty rare still

 

[Ian]

They are boring standard though Alan.

oh oh oooooooooh!

DC-2 integra

 

[paddymarsden]

oh oh oooooooooh!

DC-2 integra

Im looking....im looking!

 

[Tom 1.0]

Awesome!


lol i dont think you could go wrong,

ine of the best handling FWD cars with an awesome 1.8 Vtech engine.....

perfection.

 

[Ian]

If you can't afford the insurance on a 200sx. Don't even bother with an integra. I looked at one, it was craaaaazy insurance.

 

[Stani1029]

what about a mazda 323 gtr? 4 wheel drive 1.8 turbo, there 200bhp and jap but finding one is a bit impossible eventhough my mate has one

 

[Ian]

Parts are a nightmare too. Plus they are *way* out of the time line he was talking about.

 

[paddymarsden]

Hmm i like cars that are quite rare like the Iggy and the Corolla Kompressor. The starlet is really common around here and i'd like something a tad bigger but all your help is helping

Not keen on Mazda 323's i did look at a RX8, thank god i was sitting down when the insurance quote came back at £2000

[nexussteve]

If it were me, I'd get a super clean Honda CRX! And mod it with my change!

Psst he said Modern, as in 6-7 years old
That isn't modern, is it!

 

[paddymarsden]

yea its a little too old for my liking.

im pretty sold on the corolla i think, speaking to one of the guys on the TOC who has a compressor and he only lives 5 mins away so will be popping round to take a look and a ride in it.

i will let everyone know soon what ive chosen
