Tall order
« on: January 26, 2011, 07:51:21 PM »
So what shall I buy next? It must tick all the following boxes!

1. Cheap to run, at least 30 - 40 MPG etc

2. Unique/Individual/different

2. Eye Catching (you never know, there could be a desperate girl somewhere)

4. Fairly quick, similar territory to the Abarth (or faster)

5. Reliable!

6. Fun to own and drive

Not bothered about price or age, i'll consider anything really.

Astra or corsa vxr, john cooper works mini, audi s3 renault rs 200 dont see too many of them tones of 197's though all of those are capible of 30mpg all more practical than the 500 all less likely to fall apart than the 500 all still fun.

2 year old AGP, all the loose bits will already have fallen off, you don't hear a peep about 3rd year warranty claims so they must mature into ultra reliable cars, not that mine has ever broken down anyway ;D

Paul, whatever car you come up with as a replacement for the Abarth surely you are still going to have problems with tyre wear etc...
