Honda Integra DC2

Any other suggestions?

Something cheap to run and then something group 20 for weekend ?

Type-R of some description, whether that be DC2, DC5, EK9 or EP3.

VTEC - it's the future... petrol due to hit 1.50/ltr by September, at that point, everyone will be wanting a VTEC, because it's the only way to get high performance and 30mpg

I have a cinq now

Was thinking of building another VVC metro on TB`s for a weekend car.

But i want one car as an all rounder.

surely you could get a nice e46 3dr 3 series for about 5k

[GTBen]

dont really want a bmw to be honest

[Debo]

Type-R it is. Thread closed, discussion over.

I beg to differ, I average 28-30mpg in the Coupe.

Honda r boring mate ,,they never break-down..Evo4 far to expensive to maintain ...Seat Ibiza sounds like a holiday village, nice car tho, ,,Me i wud go for a nice coupe turbo, plus its a FIAT so it has to be more fun to own. . Good luck, I'm sure what ever you get it will be a cracking motor..

Yes, but a Coupe is a one trick pony - it only does straights... Ben wants a performance car, i.e something fast in the corners aswell as the straights And 28-30 isn't 30-34mpg in a world where soon, every mile will count when paying through the nose for friggin petrol - plus there wont be any money left to pay for repairs etc. Honda don't have this problem, you just pay to service them.
