What Would You Buy?

Personally, right now I quite like the Alfa Romeo 147. You can get a pretty nice one over here, a 2 litre T-spark, huge alloys, sequential semi-automatic gearbox, and great looks. That would set me back around £18,000 (GBP), so the rest I'd spend on extras for the car.

Ohh, and you've got to pick a new car, not second-hand.

Ford Puma 1.7 Thunder
Honda Civic Type-R
Mazda MX-5 SE
MG TF 160
MG ZS 180
Mini Cooper S
Peugot 206 GTI
Seat Leon 1.8T Cupra
Toyota MR2 Spyder (manual)

All of these have lots of room for options & aftermarket "toys". Sad thing; half these cars won't make it to the US.

Yeah, supra tt's you can get for a lot cheaper now, but prices arent exactly deflating like a balloon.

MazKid Why the hell would anyone switch out the 13B for the Supra's engine? Just get the J-spec 20B(3 rotor)and put that in there, a lot of people have, and that's 300hp...

i said id chuck the C18, the IS300 engine. Even so, im a kid and i think if i got my hands on a rotary it would go kaboom pretty quickly. THe 13b's are nice though. Imagine an experimental 3-rotor
