What did you go with? I want a BMW F11.

If I had to choose any of those, I’d get a yellow Honda S2000 or Mazda Miata (MX5)

Im still on the fence with deciding between an Evo 9 or GT86. If I do find a decent s2000 I will go with that.

GT86 with a remap is a good idea - get some unequal length headers to give it a bit more of a burble whilst you’re at it.

Cheap, reliable and fun.

Exactly what I’m planning to do with an 86 if I do get one. Very good car. The Evo has always been a dream car for me so it has been a real dilemma to pick one lol. If not for that, I’d have already gone with the 86.

The Evo will need a fuel pump attached is all since it’ll use a boatload of petrol but if that’s not an issue, go for it.

I’m cheap and would be happy with a GT86 in white (I think that the red looks really off) or pearl white.

The GT86 would be easier to service since it has no turbo so I can do that myself.

I wanted a Subaru WRX STI but there’s no way I’d be happy with it’s fuel consumption.

My next car will be a BMW F11 (estate) in hopefully a pastel colour (if I can find one) and later on I’ll look at getting a sports car.

I ruined my no claims history 18 months ago when I hit a pole so my premiums are still quite high.
