Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
hey guys, im on the lookout for a motor now my semester is over.
I want something fun to drive, quite comfortable and rather reliable, good mpg would be great too!
And dont say 306 like i know you will, theyre already on the list, im just looking for alternatives!

Fun to drive, maybe not the most comfortable, but better than a kick in the balls, reliable, and great MPG.
Not a 306 either!

I already drive one of them once a fortnight! and i can tell you a kick in a nuts may be preferable to what it did to my ribs last week!

Thread title not give you a clue?
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Niall - 30-03-2014
lol i didnt even read that! hmm will have a think. £800 aint much!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Tom - 30-03-2014
Some kind of 4x4 little suzuki or something?
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
Not a fan of high up off roaders, just been offered a sj funnily enough!
I like lower down coupes and 3door hatches and the like, something with decent feel in the steering and good balance.
So most VAG products are out of the question! I know its not alot but im just look at alternatives to a modded dturbo or a bmw 323!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Niall - 30-03-2014
406 v6 coupe? Can be picked up very cheap now, fairly quick, handle ok and are dead comfy!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
Insurance is a no on them
£300 more than a 323i!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Dum-Dum - 30-03-2014
Scooby wagon, could just get a really tatty turbo one for that money
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
Again, insurance wouldnt even quote me on a turbo impreza
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Pete - 30-03-2014
Saxo VTS?
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - bingham123456 - 30-03-2014
Fiat panda 4x4. So much fun in such a small car and that will go almost anywhere
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Grant - 30-03-2014
What about a 106 quicksilver?
Will leave you with about £200 in your pocket if you are good. Enough to pick up a GTi lump and drop it in

Jag XJR!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
Ive tried the saxo/106 before and my feet just dont fit on the pedals!
Im pretty open with the engine size, just the cost of the car needs to be low!

I used to happily drive mine with my size 12s. How big are your feet! lol
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - aaronshort - 30-03-2014
11s! I just couldnt get on with the pedal position atall!
Plus theyre abit small for me
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Piggy - 30-03-2014
Fiesta Zetec S?
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Grant - 30-03-2014
MX-5
MR-2
Saab 9-3/9-5
The list goes on...
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - cpikey316_ - 30-03-2014
Saab is a good choice! Cheap as chips to buy and mine very much had a "middle aged woman" feeling to the insurance companies!
ECU remap on a 185 9-3 will get you 230ishbhp too, more if you go for the older, red DI engine!
Lots of giggles to be had!
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - bashbarnard - 30-03-2014
Daihatsu curoe
RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Curt - 30-03-2014
I would say MX-5 but everyone is getting one nowadays, so don't do that, they're shit.

Anything with a massive petrol engine tbh, they all go for peanuts with todays fuel/tax prices lol.

Like a 1.8 China 306 of course.

RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - Toms306 - 30-03-2014
I said a big engine, I'd be expecting double the capacity of that.
