Well simple really, I have up to £2500 to spend to spend on a car for myself.
Would like something FUN ! If possible for my budget.
I will not be using it everyday so not too bothered about MPG.
I'm 24, will be 25 soon with 3 yncb so cant really get anything that will be too expensive to insure.

I have looked and heard good things about the Mazda Mx5 and for my price I could probably get the 1.6 or 1.8 1998 model to 2001.
Hairdresser jokes aside, is there anyone who has any views on the Mx5's as I don't know much about them.

Also looked at Toyota MR2 but other then the two cars I have spoken of I really don't have a clue so need some help and ideas please

I have an MX5

Paid £2300 because the roof needed replacing and it had little service history. Great cars, I'm 24 with 5 yrs NCB so insurance is only £800 Fully comp.

Look out for torn roofs and rust in the boot (underside of bootlid) and check the sills Look for 'S' models as they have LSD

Could get a Toyota MR-S for a few more £££, pretty muched matched stats wise.

Wanted something hatchback size.
Would love a nissan 200sx even though it's not small but I think the insurance would be a killer.

Not really a golf person either, just find them a bit boring to look at, sorry.

Any other ideas maybe

If the insurance is going to be a killer on a 200sx id say an Impreza was also out.

Insurance on 200 xs' isn't actually that bad for what it is. get a quote, may suprise yourself. It's cheaper for me to insure an S15 than it is my CTR

For that price a puma or mx5 would be hard to beat imo.

I'd say MX5/MR2/MGF for some summer fun..

Expect some hair-dressing related banter but who cares

There are bargains to be had My old R reg one cost me £2.4k and that was over 3 years ago, she was a minter but that was a lucky purchase

Generally they are shitters for that sort of dough though.
