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

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...

Hi neil
The integra went end of 2015 when i moved jobs and got then got the 2016 focus ST3 as was driving around the country alpt so wanted so.ething that was nice to drive.
Im moving jobs again in 4 weeks and getting rid of the ST as my commute is 30 minutes and no travel aroumd the uk. I always said i would get another integra but my budget doesnt stretch this time... Ahould never have sold that old one as it was pretty much rust free...
Might borrow some and by a decent one
