Which would you choose?

Choices for a second 'fun' car...

Option 1: Honda Prelude

Option 2: Porsche 944 (preferably white)

Option 3: Something else you can think of?
£4K budget max for something with a bit of poke that would do an absolute max of 7k miles a year.
Insurance for me on the 2 above comes in about £1k for both which is about the limit of what I'd pay. A 200SX was also considered, but quotes for that are over £600 more.

Looks like the 'Lude is nudging ahead then

TBH the running costs of the 944 were a concern. I don't mind the odd couple of hundred quid on servicing etc, but from what I've been reading on owners forums it sounds like you'll end up on first name terms with the garage owner and his kids you're putting through uni.

LizardKing - I much prefer the styling of the 5th Gen Prelude over the 4th - whats the advantage of a 4th gen? Also, what are your running costs like?
