2 Seaters

Serj · 5 Aug 2006 at 14:11

Can anyone list some sub-£4.5k 2 seaters for me? It's part of the ongoing quest for my next car. So far an MR2 and an MX5 top the list. The MG F/TF and an Alfa Romeo Spider have already been discounted as have Caterhams and the like.

There's no particular stipulation as to what can be suggested aslong as it's a 2 seater and has a sub £4.5k price tag. Thanks in advance!

GT6, Spitfire, RX7 (some are 2 seaters i think). You mind classics though?

For the money i would be thinking the same thing, i wouldn't have an MX unless it was a MK2, i simply can't get along with the MK1's dash etc.

You could just squeeze a MK2 for your money but it will be a base 1.8 and tbh unless your gonna do it right and get the iS whats the point!

If you upped your money to 5.5 / 6k now we are talking

Nah Mk2, Mk1 looks a bit dated to me

I'd only get an Mk1 tbh. Much prefer the look and interiors have never bothered me (which is forrunate considering my current car

). At the moment the MR2 is winning merely on price; there's just much more choice for my price range. The only thing i'm worried about is the weight distribution coupled with RWD.

Well its an N/A one. Just been properly resprayed recently. Also yes, I am able to afford rust free ones.

Only £1850 to buy aswell with 91k miles. I'd also rather have a t-bar myself.
