Well gents to be honest, she has her eye on a Cooper S, it is suprising how well they have retained their value.

I didn't mention it before as I wanted opinions from you lot with no bias, to get some other ideas.

Sorry, got to disagree with you there.
Had one a couple of years back, yes fun to drive, but no-where near bullet proof, cost thousands :(

Maybe not new enough or special enough but I think a lot has to be said for the Focus ST170. Quick-ish understated and pretty bullet proof.

I was suprised to see that the newer shape ST 2.5 just about comes into budget, will have to see what she makes of those.

The ones at Avon where doing comparable times to our metro van, maybe that's a wiser choice *hehe!*

Tom , depending on whos paying for running costs/ or how many miles shes does in it i think is a big factor.

Ive had plenty of motors that cost you more to run than buy, im gathering the fiesta was good on fuel and cheap to run?

Just watch the Renfaultsports, mine has busted twice in close succession. Fantastic car, only you get what you pay for when it comes to reliability/build quality/fragility. With that said I might be buying an R26 soon yay!

If your sold on the idea of a Porsche, I know of a beautiful brown 924.
This thing is going to appreciate in value like no ones business and gain loads of cool from the retro boys.

Plus it will leave you £6k to put away in the bank/spend on biscuits

For a smaller car as the fiesta, I would buy a golf/v6 1.8t gti, a focus with the five engine ,a c30 with the same or a s3.
for a biger one audi s4 v6t/v8, a volvo again with the five (c70 T5 *Cloud 9* ).
