Second hand Clio 182. Should pick one up with 10k on the clock for under 10 grand.
TT also nice to drive but you'll not get a good one for that sort of money.
Should get a decent E36 M3.
Series 1 Elise?

Clio or the A3 mate 
TT you will need to be spending 15k - 18k for a half decent one, so steer clear unless you get a low millage bargin one

TT's are silly to insure for what you get... like group 17 or something..
Nismo do you know what insurance group the integra is? Im 21 with 2 years NCB so can get something hot but nothing grp 18-20 as its still high..
I'd love something RWD but can't think of anything apart from beemers... surely the E36 M3 wilol be grp 20?

One of my favourite cars that but unfortunately is like the Golf VR6 idea, they are old now and there is alot on the road that will beat it plus finding one with decent milleage on is a nightmare.. lovley car though!

Will probably buy one when im about 45 as an old classic ... Fancied something with leather and RWD and a bit of newness. That puts me off the Audi's to, they look w4nk inside just black and dull.. THe V6 clio is Mid engined RWD but the 172 is FWD isn't it?

Yes, Clio is FWD.
Elise is mid engined and RWD. Should find a reasonable S1 for under 10k.
E30 M3?

WOuld love an elise as a fun car but not very practical, like having back seats.. would p1ss me off having only 2 after a bit.. Mmm will look into the E30 M3 never thought of that but i bet insurance will have a laff... and service costs..
any more ideas? was thinking 325 or something might be a bit easier on the pocket?
