    Hi guys, still here reading all the suggestions...

    Was looking for a sporty looker rather than a hot hatch so aforementioned TT, RX8, Crossfire, Z4 etc....

    Tight budget though, so need something cheap to run, cheap to buy, reliable....

    If you find my posts useful, "pay it forward" and help someone else out, that's how places like MSE can be so successful.

    Integra type-R above covers all of those. :D In fact any Japanese car will be cheap to buy/run/maintain, and if you look at imports they're rare enough that they stand out and look cool.

    You can buy a TT-Supra for £4k :cool: Just be prepared for £2k insurance and 20mpg. :D

    And they hold their value very well as they are so rare.

    Describing an Rover as a " proper sports car ".:rotfl::rotfl:

    It will be broken down most of the year, hardly sporty.

    Corrected that for you.

    Mind you, i'd one of these. It was cracking 0-60 in 6 seconds when RS Turbos were taking 8.5.

    But not really a sports car... :o

    The 620Ti was also a bit quick, but again, not a 'sporty' car at all!
