Hi everyone

I'm a PH newbie that's looking for some advice on my next purchase. Basically, I run a Mazda Eunos V-Spec which is great fun but, as I'm going to be doing a lot of motorway miles, I fancy trading it in for something that's a bit more relaxed on a long slog.

It still needs to handle and I prefer rear wheel drive. I might even take it to the odd track day. It also needs to be reliable so it can't be too old.

Budget will be dictated by the selling price for my Eunos. I reckon it's worth around £2,000 so let's say between £2,000 and £3,000.

I've always had a soft spot for the E30 BMW 3-series or the Mercedes 190E but aren't they getting a bit old now?

Has anyone got any ideas/suggestions?

When my insurance becomes slightly less insane i would think about chopping in my Ford Gay-A for one of these;

Probably not in your budget but I have always had a desire to own a 190 Cosworth.

Second time tonight i've done it, but i'm going to say 200sx.

There's just nothing that can give you the same bang for your buck imo.

Dead easy - 1.8 Eunos, if you've already got that, stick with it, if you don't you'll regret it in the end
