Been saving up recently with the intention of selling the VTS imminently & the GSI end of July.
Had planned to have around 3 grand to spend and was set upon an ITR or CTR.
Insurance want to destroy my rectum for both.
Any suggestions for alternatives that wont result in a burst sphincter.
Must fit the following criteria.
Reasonably quick.
Nice comfy interior.
Reliable.
NOT French (Bad 172 Experience)
About 10 years old, trying to move up the ladder a bit.
At a loose end now as i was set on a Type-R and now i've had a massive boot in the japs eye

You just had a nail of a 172 mate but it was uber cheap. There cracking cars, could get a nice 182 for your budget tho.
Audi s3? Seen a few of them for about 3500
E46 coupe?
Ibiza cupra?

Maybe not but a Ibiza Sport TDi is well within price range. I sold mine 2 years ago for that.
