You're looking at buying a roadster eh?
To be honest my pick would be an S2000 but I'm not sure what your budget is?
What you looking for in your next car?

Tim - The gf wants me to get a lotus elise..... but cant afford the insurance - she thinks now I have been promoted I should get a convertable car - WOMEN!!!!
Looking in the region or 14k-15k if I was to get something new, and insurance no more than 2k......
Seen VX220 2.2 for about that price...
PS.... Im happy with the Corsa, but you know women

If I was going to blow that much money on a car it'd have to be on a Supra or something else Jap...
If she wants a convertible why not look at an S2000 much plusher inside and not quite as 'hairdresser' as the MG...

I'd prolly get a VX220 Turbo over the Elise anyway... look less of a dick and with some tuning you can dick all over the Elise can't you?

Defo cant get a S2000 - insurance is like £3500 - No chance a 2.2 VX is only 2k.
Would rather have the turbo but cost loads more than the 2.2
