A cage with character

I thought the original post said character?

the last car I had was one of these

preceeded by one of These, both has real charater, leather and wood abound.

Cheers Mark.

Porsche 944, that's the way to go. You can get a really nice one for the money and they are an everyday usable car, which if you are careful and choose the right one won't be a money pit. The 911 is not useable everyday.

I had a 944 S2 and used it only my daily commute for ages and it is the only car I have ever owned which comes close to the feeling of joy I get from the bike. If you get one get the newer 'oval dash' model if you like your knees.

I bought mine off of Ebay for ?1850 and sold a year later for ?2150 and it is the worst thing I ever did. Am currently looking for another.

Did I mention make sure it has decent history, as I'm sure you would with any car and also go for a manual not the horrid auto.



Look at her - why oh why did I get rid of you?

Jaguar S-type, 3-6 years old. Loads of them around, generally with full service history and very good condition cos they've been owned by 'senior' members of society, (not wishing to offend anyone!)

Or if you don't like the Jag brand, for something you're going to use everyday you want something fairly new unless you want that £5000 to become £10000 pretty quickly!

Cheers,
Matt

Golf VR6, Lancia Delta, or the early S4 A4's the A4 would be my choice prob the best of the bunch. early M3?

I know someone who's been through 3 of those.... toyota reliability or not, any old car with sporting pretentions will have been abused at some point. Avoid imho.
My Focus is great fun!

I like the idea of a 944 I'd always discounted it as being to costly. What are the running costs like ?

As for the MR2 well I wouldnt touch one, my brother works at a Toyota main dealer, he said he'd never touch one as they are in his words "Sh*t"

Seems like with my choice of cars, Tr7s and MR2s, I have owned some pups.

However I enjoyed em.
