    Suggestions on Future car?

    I'd like to drop my astra before its next mot, i've got about 11months before then, but hey i like planning ahead.
    I'd probably do 1 of the following choices, spend £10k and get something really decent and run it till it dies in which case it would need to be reliable cheap to run but good fun to drive.

    The second option is £2k and something that will do me for a few years.

    I'd love an Mitsubishi evo but somehow i don't thats going to happen....

    Suggestions please.

    You mind if i ask how much it cost you tho?. bet it wasn't cheap and i've had no luck finding a second hand one anywhere even to allow me to check price.

    Parkers guide doesn't appear to list any 2nd hand prices for any evo's which was a shame...

    If you look hard, 10k will get you a 1.6 Lusso with climate, leather, cd, abs/traction/clever braking stuff/other acronyms, 120bhp and the most gorgeous sound from a 4 cylinder petrol ever

    And wait till you drive one

    Evo as first car? ROFL

    If you can afford it and are sensible with the right foot, I can't see why not though.
