Can everyone tell me what kind of car they would buy if they had a budget between £8k - £10K, now obviously looks and speed are a big factor but so is running costs eg, petrol, insurance and maintaining the car itself.

I peosonally have been lookin at the Evo 4 or the Audi S3 the difference between the 2 insurance wise is massive, over a grand for the Evo and just over £500 for the audi but I imagine the evo would be more expensive to run???

So what other peeps opinions???

Please try and keep this topic sensible

They look nice and the interiors good but the preformance isnt very good. The revised 225 has respectable performance though.

Its a totally differant car to an Evo. S4's however...

How about a Civic Type R? you can get a good one with low miles for around that price if you look around, they have loads of modability, look impresive standard and can be made real fast.

iv been thinking of which car for 10k aswell but it doesnt really matter about insurance and running costs to me so im siding towards an R33

also thinking of supra TT, e36 M3, rx7. but these still will be very expensive to insure

But your corsa beats scoobys etc all day long! Why oh why would you want anything diff

I'd go for the audi but they are more than 10K for a decent low milage one?

If you can afford the running costs etc them go for an RX7.
