Need a car, need other guys input
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?0
