What daily for 2-3k?

[RetroPug]

Something a bit different and interesting, looks relatively tidy too and will only appreciate in value.. Plus it'd leave you a grand to spend on it.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272310675420

I absolutely love opel mantas but I wouldn't have one as a daily.

E46 330 M-sport coupe. Get a post 200 with the 6 speed box and you'll easily see 35+mpg

The renaultsports are thirsty things,trust me!

E46 330d coupe. Easily manages 36mpg with a mixture of town/mway driving. I am a little bias though  

If it is only doing 36mpg then I'd much rather have a petrol engine.

I daily a 330Ci, sounds great, pulls well and gets about 23 round town/40 on the MW depending on your speed. Standard suspension is very confortable but a bit wafty unless its new. Has cruise, electric memory seats, working AC etc

Now this is getting interesting.

Can pick up an RS megane 225 lux for that money with ease,

225bhp, 6spd, full leather with electric everything (not as bad as base models because each renaultsport is hand build in dieppe) 4 pot brembo's, epic handling and with a map and breathing mods will safely run 260bhp all day long.

Yeah I was thinking along these lines as well.


Part of me wants to keep the fiesta as it has just been reliable, cheap and it handles nicely.
