The 206CC is expensive. Damm nice though! Ya can't beat the MX5 for value for money/fun.

**3Dfx** · 31-12-2003, 03:05 AM

206cc is expensive new.. but the resale value is quite low if I remember correctly... and they've been out for about 2 years now... I like em better than the new 306cc.

HATE the 306 all together...

Ya can't beat the MX5 for value for money/fun.

on a NEW car... nope... I could say for a cheap fun 2nd hand (more like 18th hand car) the Renault 5 GT Turbo is more fun LOL!

**XTR** · 31-12-2003, 03:09 AM

307CC is nice. but again... they havent been out long and the price tag is still high.

Megane CC is again nice.. but ya'll struggle to find a second hand one.

206CC is expensive new and expensive second hand. They are a new car. Where as a H reg ish MX5 is a bloody great car for little money in comparision to the other cars mentioned above.

BTW: The 5 GT Turbo isnt RWD.. and it has a roof. so that's no good for summer fun cruising along the beach.

Yea, the mx5 definitely is the best car in nfs underground.....

Nice car David.

Other suggestions for XTR:

MGF: Has the bonus of being mid-engined

.

MR2 T-Bar: Not a true convertible, but MR2s are great cars. Mark1s are cheaper and IMO cooler (although mint ones are going up in value now, if anything), Mark2s are bigger and a bit softer- unless you get the turbo, which is an animal

. MK2s only look cool on 17s IMO, normally I don't really like big wheels but the MK2 needs 'em.

MGF: don't go near them - build quality which makes Trabants seem positively well made, engines which won't do 50k without needing (yes, needing) the head gasket doing, terrible driving position,,,

MR2: nice cars

MX-5s: teh daddeh

**Zak33** · 31-12-2003, 03:36 PM

this very evening I intend to convince David to bring it to my house cos I wanna see how sideways I can make it go

"EUNOS".....its better than a number.

MR2 T-Bar. Get a Mk1, they handle really well and go like stink.

**5lab** · 03-01-2004, 03:34 AM

other rwd convirtibles on the cheap are the mr2 tbar (as already posted by everyone) and maybe an mg? i'd guess its easier to get a faster mr2 than mx5 - my flatmates old one had (iirc) 160bhp

**hotpurple** · 03-01-2004, 08:06 PM

Was it a Mk1 supercharged? Or a Mk2?

**5lab** · 03-01-2004, 08:43 PM

just a standard (iirc) mk2 2 litre gt(??)

flogged it for 2 grand with a 12 month mot. mint condition cept for the aereal (sp)

**Rave** · 04-01-2004, 03:11 AM

Mk1 Supercharger: ~140BHP.
Mk2 GT: ~160 BHP.

Mk1 SC accelerates a lot harder though 'cos it's lighter and has a lot more low down torque. 0-60 in about 6.7s

. You can tune 'em up to 180+ with a bigger SC pulley and other minor mods

.

you can tune a 1.6 MX-5 to way beyond 250bhp with FI
