With me being 21 in a few months, I need to decide on a new car.
I'm fed up with the little 106 TBH and want something bigger, and more sporty.
I was thinking of a Toyota Supra N/A. I know they're not a rocket ship, but I'd have one anyday over the 106.
What you think?

The standard UK ones are shit, and possibly the same as a 3.0 N.A supra?
And surely they'll drink around the same amount of fuel?!

Nah, I dont think an NA Supra is a good idea at all, Id rather have your 106 if I was honest!
I know I always say this but i would get a nice S14a Nissan 200sx! The right wheels are being driven, they are fast, easy to tune, fun, reliable, look mint lowered on nice rims.............

honest opinion... dont take it the wrong way.
If you have 4k to spend - you cant afford these cars.
A UK Supra is much cheaper to insure over an import. Even it being a UK TT it'll be cheaper than a Jap NA.
Dont rule out Auto supras...... they are very good.
Dont get a skyline for 4k..... it'll be old/shit/slow
