The golf would get my vote. Had 5 of them before i went onto the audi's and mk 1 was cracking fun. I would be tempted with a mk2 16v in oak green! |

I'd be looking at something a bit more modern.

turbo diesel would be my choice, Astra sri diesel turbo 150 brake model, you have the economy, speed, at the touch of a button & the reliability, ...... nice car too you have to work out the weekly, monthly, yearly, economy of a daily driver a fast petrol car will quickly kill your wallet. you need to factor in running costs of a modern common rail diesel. DMF failure, pump failure, turbo failure, injector failure, EGR, increased service costs (oil and fuel filters are usually more expensive). you can fit LPG to petrol cars too :) turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Civic type R gets my vote, as long as it isn't the last lardy generation one.

Id vote ek9 but youd be pushing it for that price, new civics are heavy and shite, id go for an integra type r out of all the hondas on offer as there a good price for what they are. Probs my fave sensible road car. On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:

Think I'm definitely leaning towards a mk1 golf. Just need to sell my leon now. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Mk1 golfs are brilliant, have you ruled out a mk2 tho, a bit more space and can get a 16v to make up for a little extra bulk. On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:

I prefer the mk1 styling. Also if I don't get a mint gti. I might just get a 1300 driver and drop a 20v turbo or vr6 lump in it. BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

Sod the ek9. Integra type R is a better car/engine, cheaper and has more room.
