    So probable new job...

    Final interview on Monday, and confidence is very high after some inside info from people in the know.

    So, I have written off my M5, sold my 182, and I can't commute the Williams all the time as it just does not make sense!

    I am looking at another 182 I think as I was impressed with the one I had before in both performance and MPG, managing over 41 MPG on long journeys!!!

    I have looked at frugal but fun diesels, but they just don't do it for me...

    Any other options with the £3k figure?

    Posh, indeed Maybe...

    But a bit overpriced and I will probably just want to lower whatever I get anyway!

    What have you looked at then..french shite?

    Have a read here:

    We bought ours in Bolton last year and we love it. It is the dynamic version. Lots of scope to modify it also if that's your thing.

    Pre-facelift Civic Type R's are available for well under £3k

    175s are a lot more capital than a 182 - more bucks if they go wrong too.

    The fuel economy is not very good either on the 175, ~35mpg. The 182 is better.
