Cheap quick car!

[350 Russ]

as im thinking of selling my zed im after a replacement, ive not got loads to spend so im after some ideas of what to get next, i would preferably like it to be rear wheel drive and less than 7 seconds to 60. ive been thinking about an old rx7 but that would be a money pit, maybe a bmw 328?

a cracking drive though nice and light

 

other options for rwd are a bit more limited

S1 Elises are becoming pretty cheap nowadays as are VX220s but they're not too practical for an everyday car. I almost got a VX220 but in the end I decided that I wanted something more practical and so I ended up with the zed and I'm glad that I did.

 

Also, I don't actually fit in a VX220 properly either so that's something else to consider if you're quite tall!

You drive a Datsun, are thinking about a BMW and you're worried about image??!!

 

Man up, drive something that's fun and forget what every other ignorant sod says about your car

I'm not worried about badge or image I just don't like convertables, I'm losing enough hair as it is

2003 RX8?

fuel economy maybe a little low, but you can pick them up for cheap, and they are bloody good fun to drive.

If you are willing to delve into hot hatches, buying and running something like a Pug 106 Gti or Saxo VTS (if you can find an unmodified one!) would be relativly quick motoring for very little cash.

 

MX-5 ticks all the boxes though.

Not really something I'd call a money pit TBH, especially if he gets a nice unmolested car

Budget???

You could always go for something with real class.

I'm speaking as a former owner. It was hard enough finding a clean one in 2005...
