OneTeamInBristol Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Looking to replace my weekend/Summer car with something I can use every day on my commute but still have a bit of fun with and take on the occasional track day. Has anyone got any recommendations for around £9-10k? I've considered an Abarth 595 and Mini JCW but not really feeling either of those.

Nathandao Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Suzuki swift sport? 1.4 turbo was very good fun when I went to test drive it. Quite small but worth a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 As you mention track days I would start there and work your way back. That sort of driving takes a lot out of a car, you will get through brakes and tyres, cooling might become an issue. I would look at a car that has plenty of affordable parts on offer that you can work with and one that has been designed with this driving in mind rather than looking good in a showroom. Something like an older Impreza might be handy, it might have had a hard life till now and the transmission won't be cheap if it goes wrong but there is power to enjoy and it is well built from standard. You might find them with a roll cage already fitted, that might sound extreme but not a bad thing to have around you once on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 i know of a Volvo Amazon going for £13k, in amazing condition. Not exactly your spec but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
