I'm going to test drive a few cars this weekend to try and work out what to buy next. My budget is ~£5k which limits me a bit and I've decided I don't really want another turbo charged car if I can avoid it.

S2000 is top of the list (although it will be a high mileage import for that price). Am also test driving a BEAMS powered MR2 which could prove interesting...

MX5 has crossed my mind but I don't want a MK1 and not sure what quality of MK2 I'd get for my money.

Can't really stretch to a VX220 or Elise S1 so they're out the window.

If nothing whets my appetite then I'll keep the MR2 but I am getting a little bored!

MR2 is an auto though :thumbdown: Going to give it a shot anyway, can always convert it to manual.

That BEAMS MR2 will be a great car, rare also.

Civic type R - although the loss of speed may well get boring.

Skyline - Bandits is nice

Yeah I've got high hopes for the '2 but I'm still not convinced I want another one straight away.

Not a big CTR fan, dunno if I could actually bring myself to buy one.

Same goes for the Skyline unfortunately, it's very rare I see a Skyline that I like.

That said I have never driven either!
