Situation - Post Divorce/Split always had "sensible" "practicle cars" with ex, now have a number of options:

Budget up to 15kish cash or Lease/Contract Hire, and dont want a bland euro box identicar.

1. Contract Hire RX8 or 350Z for 12/18 months to get the bitter taste of drving base model mondeo diesel estates out of my mouth (no offence intended to owners)

2. used Subaru Legacy estate 4K ish for a JAP import with 250bhp

3. Go nuts and buy a TVR Cerbera 14k, and repaint in matt black:D to scare the bejeesus out of people on the motorway.


So any suggestions/comments/experience of owning any of the above guys, or any others I havent considered....

    Just a few random thoughts, all I need to pull these days is a caravan :)

    Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 is a nice "wolf in sheep's clothing". Slightly smaller than a Legacy but more powerful.
    TVRs may not be as reliable as Japanese cars. ;)
    RX8 will be pricey as engine life is still a concern.

    Good luck with the quest!
    Can I help?
