So thoughts on a cheap daily
the ute is just using too much fuel and is impossible to park inner city
 
im thinking 10k but needs to be a bit fun
so turbo manual and not fwd 
 
but it still has to have cruise as my commute to work does involve 100km of freeway
cannot be thief bait  else would have got an r or s chassis
 
im leaning towards a g4 liberty gt or a g3 wrx
 
what are some other thoughts
 
(sorry to ask car question)
 


Golf GTI

Megane or Clio will beat all of the above.

But cause car racist, get a polo GTI, the older manual only ones. Cheap, clean, nice, worse than a Megane in every way (cross shopped both) but perfectly OK for daily duties.

Comes pre-modded for your enjoyment. Technically not a golf.

So to translate
 
the 3 suggestions are
Fiesta st
golf r
fiat 124
 
all of which are past what I am looking to spend plus I only fit in one
 
better results than I expected on here


You would fit the fiesta and the golf for sure.

There's a white 2013 one on car sales for 13.5

Also, you forgot the golf gti suggestion.

Probs a nothing announcement.

I still think Lexus IS250 is great bang for buck second hand. They mid sized and punchy. Why does it have to be turbo? Modern NA cars more fuel efficient and faster than the turbos of yesteryear.

Because turbos are fun.

None of the cars that come with them suit Martin's taste. 

I still think an auto JZX110 is the closest thing you'll get. About $5k or more less than manuals.

 

 

 

So I like forced induction as they easier to play with, I don't want a stock car, never had one never plan to.

they also give me the great fuel economy on freeway then lots of go in corners.

(Think i used to get 6's/100km from the S14 when dailing it then still came to the track and had a blast)

Been driving a NA for way too long and even one that has what 180kw just does not feel the same as a turbo rush, and with a 4L and 4 speed gear box..fuel economy is....average.

 

so small zippy manual forced induction under 10K and not a golf.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
