You'll be surprised the build quality is not absolutely awful in the high end clios.
It is most definitely better than standard range models.
I guess I'm different when it comes to buying a car, I have a budget and I always spend it.
For ten grand as I said I'd be all over an s2000, some people can be left underwhelmed by them but it depends on driving style.
A nice gun metal or black one would be lovely.
I like that they aren't that common either.
If running costs weren't an issue I'd go for a tvr.
Another suggestion is of course lotus elise, has a wow factor for me, definitely turns heads, and not overly expensive to run.
i did consider the s2000 but i drove one previously and at normal speeds, it was very average. you have to drive it like a loon to get the vtec and fun out of it and as fun as that would be, it is not my driving style to wring the neck out of my car. i think they are looking a tad dated now.
yeah i would love a tvr 350c but reliability and costs make it a no no
