Been sold a good car by a family member, but it is pretty boring and a bit too thirsty. It is a Honda Torneo 1.8 manual with low K's and is in great condition, but I don't really like it. I'm more of a small car guy.
I figure if I am going to be paying back a car, I want it to be something I actually want to drive.
All that said, what car would you recommend for $6000 or so? I figure I can get that for the Torneo and have a bit of cash to play with as well from selling the Demio.
I have pretty much come to the conclusion that an MX5 fits, but want to get some suggestions for if I am missing something interesting. MR2 is cool, but too difficult to fix from experience. Maybe a good Vitz RS or small hatchback might work too.
Doesn't need to be super grunty, just fun to drive, manual, cheap to run and something a bit different.
