    Default If you had £10k to spend on a car...

    What would you get? Can be used or new. And say a little bit about why you'd pick that car for £10k

    I'd spend too much time watching the G meter in the skyline than watching the raod

    you could get the best looking Evo (Evo 6) for round about that price..though it would cost about £2000 a year to insure where we live :wink:

    I saw a 52 plate 3 series BMW last week for about £8000 but all depends what type of car you want

    Well, I personally like the following cars, in order, top being the best...

    Honda Civic Type R (198bhp)
    Seat Leon Cupra R (225bhp)
    Gold GT-TDI (150bhp)

    The CTR and Seat pretty much level peg each other on performance, but the CTR looks better, and has a better quality interior finish. Plus, it's Honda

    Someone just gave me a Civic! I havent got it yet, but it should be arriving at my house this week! Happy Me!

    Hmm.. £10k. I reckon I'd get a 2nd hand Mitsubishi LS200 Warrior if I wanted a big (massive!) car.. For fun, whilst still slightly 'practical', an Evo. Or purely for fun, an Evo. Or maybe a Cupra R
