I don't need 5 seats anymore since my nan passed away. Chuck me some ideas of some sports cars for around 10k. Nothing over 3 years old and must be cheap on fuel as i do 90 miles a day for work.

Yeah I know what your saying but that has done most of its depreciation now cos of its age. Not only that, cars like that are always low mileage, dry use only and well looked after so age doesnt matter quite as much!!

Lot of car for £10k that is!!!

S2000 cheap to run? lucky to get anywhere near 30mpg in one of them.

MX5 all day long...but judging by how much you bleat on about petrol I would just get a small car to take you to work in.

If you're driving it in a way that returns 40mpg you might aswell buy something comfy instead.
