Ill be buying a new car in the next couple of weeks & Im still not sure wot 2 get ? ?
Mitsubishi Fto GPX Mivec - 2.0, V6, 24v, 200bhp
Honda Civic Jordan - 1.6 v-tec, 158bhp
Honda Prelude 2.2 v-tec, 4WS, 220bhp
I fancy the Civic Jordan cos they are rare as rocking horse turd but seem to be over-priced
Any1 any opinions on these cars ?

Get a punto GT, that way u can still go fast, but also look like a turd in a shoebox.

It would cost me £245 to change my insurance over for the remaining 8 months on my policy. Thats from a 1.4 sport to a Fto GPX Mivec
