Don't go for a 4S, just a regular S!

I prefer the other more common ones I think

Rears awesome but generally i think the fronts too deep looking, on lighter colours, on black car it looks perfect.

I want one now.

4s is certainly the best looking of the bunch.

Are they quite rear biased?

18k in commuting miles alone. Depreciation, fuel, maintainence. For me without the maths would initally suggest to be more expensive than running a cheap diesel for the commute.

I'd buy a £3k and keep £2k for repairs, then buy a £15k new car

It would be a shame to see the Civic go, what happened to the plans for racing it?

I'd stretch the budget and get a 997.1 S, In my opinion miles nicer inside and out compared to the 996.. If you get one that's got decent history and drive it a bit you shouldnt have many problems.. check the forums on 911uk.com

That said, they will still depreciate where as a well specd 996 turbo or similar will hold its money I should think..
