Ian R Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I have 2k to spend on a daily driver as I blew the other one up and the Supe is rather thirsty for the daily commute. I am considering 200 sx Fto as long as I return 30 mpg I will be happy any other suggestions. The 200 sx may be worth going for as I could use it for drifting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I am coming from a biased background here, but I've found the VAG range to be VERY reliable. I'm sure you could pick up a nice mk3 golf or something along those lines for that budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 defo not the SX, my one had worse fuel figures for short tripping than the supra. I recently bought an MR2 automatic and its a great car. Returning about 32mpg or more, handles amazingly and all in all a great little runabout. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Just don't get a Saxo diesel. It goes fine and is economical but it is shite to drive. Unfortunately you won't find an AE86 for that price as they have a cult status now and usually fetch at least 4.5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB 2nd that, get a really nice N/A (stay away from cheap tubbys) for that price and cracking cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
