Looking for a car I can feel when driving.

St220?. Lovely cruiser and the v6 pulls quite hard.

I swapped mine for a Fabia vRS, the 306 n00bs get vanquished.

Only driven a 2.2 Civic briefly but it was reasonably nice tbh!

What are they like in terms of torque and power? Thinking of an 07/08 plate, that’s on my list anyway

Don’t think I can get the insurance down on those, for some reason they are double the price of everything else I’ve looked at

I found the honda 2.2 really laggy and not so nice to drive. Not in the same league as the VAG engine, neither is the bmw 2l either.

Really? I have seen this about on forums but then it’s like 50/50 some love the Honda power and then some hate the overall ride of the car.

One thing most agree on is the flawed suspension of the hondas haha

Exactly, my suggestion is much more affordable.

Lol I was 16 and couldn't even drive when this was being done. One of my mates from school used to rave about this mod back in the day. Some of those posts crack me up.

It was very briefly in a car park but I didn't notice any lag. Best thing to do is to go and drive one.

I’ve booked a couple of viewings so hopefully I have a good experience, will keep you updated tomorrow after my first drive

You'll be really disappointed if you change and get off boost in a diesel

What do you mean?

Absolutely a Honda S2000 with its go-kart like chassis - I’d you can find a decent one at your budget

Nothing really going to push you back so to speak for £2.5k

I can vouch for the Civic 2.2 though, ideally EX spec if you can find one.

Turbo kicks in around 2200RPM

Is it a fun drive? Read around some people say it’s a bit dull

Appreciate the replies all
