drift_bear Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Since I've px the 7 series for the GTR, I am without a daily. I'm having trouble trying to find something that will be a good replacement (or near at least). I have a budget of £1k (but can stretch if need be)... So get suggesting folks, your usually good at these games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 IS200 (I want one as a daily) Gen 7 Celica (had one) Mazda6 (pre facelift - I have one as a daily (52 plate) and it does the job) Out of the 3, celica is most fun, mazda is very practical, lexus looks the best.

drift_bear Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've already had 2 IS200's over the years, the Mazda 6 looks good actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Does it need to be fuel friendly? In the sense, does it need to be a diesel? I'd always look at comfy cars for the daily, so Mercedes C class perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkddav3 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 For your budget mate I would keep it simple. Yeah you can find mercs, bmws 4x4's ect but your better of going will a cheap hatchback. Cheap to run, cheap to insure and cheap to buy. I bought a mk5 fiesta zetec s in imperial blue. 1.6 engine 110bhp for £900 then sold it 2 years later for £1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've had 2 celicas and would have another in a heartbeat. These were mk 6s but honestly still brilliant little cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I would be looking at a e39/e46 BMW? Or you could go with a nice small hatchback such as a fiesta, golf, polo, focus etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Considering the golf/focus/vectra range I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
