what one?
im asking as im just confused now 
must be
fast 
air conditiong
comfy
NOT AUTO
not built like a pug-citroen-fiat
reliable
will be used for sunny days and the odd track day
it will not be getting stripped out only interior mods will be a small stereo system and a set of harneses
if its gonna be very tricky to insure i want a name of a insurance company aswell that covers it "from your personell experience"
was thinking of 200sx-mx5 but now
i dont know mebbe i just need to drive sommit fast
any way im rambling, ideas dudes

I'll be honest... the mr2 handles shite.... but i was having too high expectations coming from a 106gti on Bilstein's... it was better than average though... usual shite in the wet etc etc
VERY quick though, they dont weigh an awful lot either

An Ibiza Cupra like corsa godfathers old one, can be had from as low as £4k now and you get VW build quality plus a revo upgrade will take you to 210bhp easily for not much cash.
Hopefully I can get one soon if funds allow

I disagree the handling in the dry is amazing...really sticks to the floor on standard suspension even...they turn in and just grip with hardly any understeer...and if you get too much oversteer a little blip of the throttle and some opposite lock sorts that out...
In the wet is another story 
Once you get to know there limits though you can through them about nicely...but when they go they go....
