2K Suggestions

I want a reliable car, with aircon, possibly a little sporty, that I dont have to worry about putting lots of miles on, or leaving outside train stations. Been thinking about 306 GTI6's. Anyone got any suggestions? Not really more than 2k if possible.

anyone?

From a fiat coupe, to a 2k runabout.

How about one of these then. Similar kind of motor, but a bit more on the sensible side.

1999 T Reg RENAULT Megane 2.0

Fiat Punto, in blue.

Not a single reliable car suggested so far

Nissan Primera, Ford Mondeo, maybe an early Focus.

.

looks pretty much dull as dishwater, drives very nicely, doesn't return terrible mpg, and has good aircon

A mate picked an S reg model up for 1700 and it's decent for the cash.

Try finding one!

Primera GT gets my vote, but it WILL rattle your fillings out

£2K will get you a good one.

My 330Ci Sport is still on the drive

After blasting to the Pistonheads meet with my friends, (S54 Engined M Coupe, Focus RS and WRX STI) I held my own with them and I may consider keeping the coupe, but I still wanted a cheap runaround.

Civic from about '96...

4th Gen Honda Prelude 2.2 Vtec, you can pick up a minter for £2k, but most are less. Quick, reliable and a bargain
