Mortgages and other house related shit means I've got to get a cheaper car (about £3000 - £4500). So far I'm considering these options:
Buy Corsa B 1.4 16v Sport
Buy Astra Mk4 1.8 16v SRi I've seen for £4500
Keep Clio 1.2 16v
Buy a sub £1000 car for a year or less until I can afford 200sx
What would you do?

Yeah. I guess keepin clio is an option but it does my head in - so slow.
Only thing with gettin a 200 is I have to drive 90miles a day to work and back - shame to put the miles on it. And petrol

the astra sri's are a good car for the money,mine was even with my mates audi a3 sport (1.8 20v,basically a v5 golf) 200sx is by far the fastest and most fun, but with todays petrol prices a 98RON car will hurt your wallet a bit

buy an S13 200sx then
My mate just bought one for £700 to go drifting with. Its not the fastest car in the world (piss poor for 170bhp really!) but still tuneable and fun to drive!
