Been looking around at cars to replace my IS200.

Still think I shall end up with another IS200 because its got in my eyes the best bhp/drivability to insurance ratio at my budget.

Got about 2-3k to spend and spotted a couple of possibles. But if anyone else can think of something that fits the bill could you let me know.

Quite like the look of this, but doesn't blow me away.

Sensible option, would do a type r replica, as I do like the Civic.

Good IS200 can be picked up quite cheap now, would aim for one with sat nav or a early sport model.

The Corrola is a very different drive to the IS200, but when you hit the "lift" part of vvtl-i it feels like a tiny turbo!! Quite fun, utterly reliable and really tunable.

Civic, i don;t like them TBH, its the gear lever in the dash that I don;t like, but apart from that a great little car.

IS200 - well you've had that been there done that????

Yeah, i'll only buy the civic if I get my sensible head on! LOL! Don't really like it that much, i'd just save a fortune on fuel, so would have more to spend on the car!

Yeah, seen the accord type r, very tempted. But think the insurance will screw me over.

If insurance or fuel wasn't an issue, i'd have this,
