Another which car? thread

[lewisdmz]

Geez these are pretty boring I know but everyone loves to have an opinion and chip in anyway.

Basically after about 5 years of owning 306's I've got a hankering for something different. My requirements are pretty interesting as far as these threads go, no high mpg's or anything ghey like that needed:

- No less than 20mpg town driving
- Do not need boot space/child seat/easy access for old people
- No diesels
- Budget of around £3500
- As reliable as a 6
- Should be over 130bhp/tonne

Couple of considerations so far

Mazda MX-5 Mk1
Pros:
- Cheap to buy and run
- Cheap to insure
- RWD fun
- Lively handling

Cons:
- Soft top
- Slow
- Not great looking
- No boot space if needed

BMW E30 325i
Pros:
- Look epic
- RWD fun
- "The noise"
- Raw driving experience

Cons:
- Over priced
- Hard to find a good one
- Rust
- MPGee's

Honda Integra Type R
Pro's
- Reliability?
- Average mpg
- Look awesome
- Handle awesome

Cons:
- Expensive insurance on imports / hard to find UK ones
- Rust
- Hard to find good ones

Renaultsport Megane 225
Pros:
- Handling (but maybe too similar to a 6?)
- Nice grunty engine
- Lots of space if needed

Cons:
- Reliability?
- High running costs (big tyres/brakes etc).


Fully open to suggestions or advice on the above candidates. :-)
