Impreza. Would love a 2dr version, but realistically it would probably be a RB5

In the real world theres not much faster A-B for under 10 grand.

I would hope so mate, you did have a 318i!

Top choice mate, I'm sure a few people will say the 200sx, except the unfortunate Jap haters who to be honest are missing out!!

er.....an MR2 Turbo - but I'm probably going to replace that with an RX7 or an S2K when I can save a bit of cash.
318iS became MR2 Turbo became FTO GPX Mivec became Impreza became Rover 620Ti became Honda S2000 (current) became Fiesta 1.25 and 200SX Drift Slag (when the Honda has gone)

i dislike them passionatly. theres somethign about the 200sx, but apart from that i just dnt like em. theres no passion, its all electronic and plastic and most of em just get massacred with neons by chav scum. skylines are rapid but well huge, evos n scoobys have lost all there racing and ralleying pedigree (although i would have evo 6 makinnen edition). an theres no performance car maker you know? they make quick cars an then make crappy plastic boxes like micras? Theres no real japanese super or sports car maker.

just my opinion

and adam dont worry about 200sx its next on my list of things to buy after my IS i hope

nope not today

they are not enginnered the same imo. i mean sit inside a fifteen year old jap car then in a 15 year old german one. thats if u can find a 15 year old jap car in good nick. I hate the interiors and the styling of the thigns is shocking, mostly there boxy and horrid. its probably been made ten times worse buy this max power generation of muppets who chuck turbos an anythign they can find. i mean ask any one who reads them mags what there ultimate car is an its usually nissan skyline or subaru impreza.

not a ferrari or lambo then?

just my opinion

sorry, double post, but i bought mine in the trade for Ԛ£750 and sold it for Ԛ£3500 which was 'cheap' in the eyes of the die hard fans. i miss it everyday and at the time didnt realise how much people loved them. they are extremely great cars, and mine would quite regularly hand out punishment to E36 328s! just kep revving. was black with black FULL leather and the 5 speed dog leg manual box. got pics if n e ones interested (most people on the 306 forum never believed me and it got annoying!)
