Id like to get another jap car as a daily driver. estimated compo is 3200 and my mates buying my passat for 1600. Just to be safe and as the estimate is an estimate lol, Im looking around the 3500 mark. what would you guys do?
I am 20 yoa but am willing to wait till im 21,
have an sp30,
am am not sure I can afford 2l turbo running costs :(
I am also honda friendly and my current favourite to get is an sir 2 eg6. I dont really want another gt either tbh.
Thanks :)
Ed

I know you said Jap, but if i was in the market im afraid it would prob be a Passat:

I have one of these as a run around with moon mileage and does easily 450miles to a tank! Comfy and got the space ... Audi 80. I know that ones a 2.0l but its only an example, i bought the 1.6 version:

the 2.0 turbo cars arnt as bad as you think if you can keep your foot off the accelerater and off boost, im only 22 and i seem to afford it all alright on okish wages i even would go as far as to say i cant decide what was worse on fuel my cammed vts or my gt4 lol.

yeh I was looking at 200's and gt4's but my brother said I may find myself struggling to afford petrol as he does sometimes. I currently drive a 1.8 turbo passat which does about 25mpg mixed driving and 37 on the motorway. I have no issue affording petrol in that and dont go out on the lash anymore either so I just dont know. I wish I could borrow his scoob for a week to see if I can the petrol!

how many mpg do u get out of it driving without planting ur foot? I only do around 12 miles qa day and double that when I see my missus.
I live with my dad now so also have more money due to that
