I would leave the renults alone if thats the reason you want it. Mega money on maintance people sell them when timing belts are due because they cost the same amount as the value of the car if not more. Diesel a4 estate is what you want brill mpg comfortable and reliable if not has to be a crx if you want fun 1.6 16v dohc b16 engine

Volvo C30 D5 R Design in white, 40+mpg plenty of grunt if you need it. Got to hang to the Merc for now, so toying with the idea of selling it rather than it sitting around unused.
Power.. small nail, fast hammer, Torque.. small nail, big hammer.. I got a big hammer :P

Yep, I’ll struggle to get another so good, especially with a manual box.

I'd go with the mx5 or take a look at the bmw z4 they are not so expensive and rust less...
