@JoJo
Yeah, I'm a die hard Honda fan so the Prelude is ideal for me; mechanically the S2000 is the business but the styling just doesn't work IMO and besides, it's still to expensive for me. Acuras are unavailable here in NZ.
@Max
I used to have a '94 Integra DOHC VTEC and the hatchback came in very handy - though I'm not really a S/W fan, a 5 door liftback is as far as I'll move away from my ideal of a 2 door coupe. Those intersecting lines in the Mondeo's 'Edge' styling is a visual treat, and with many ex-company lease cars turning up as the victims of savage new-car depreciation, the Mondeo is a bargain ATM.
@JK
I'd love an Audi but I can't afford one new enough that I can avoid MASSIVE repair bills. Wish I could afford an A4 MTM/S5/S6/S8/R8... but not anytime soon.

Am actually looking at new cars myself to replace my 2002 SEAT Leon.
Have been looking at:
Peugeot 207 GTI (£14,000)
Renault Twingo GT 100 (£9,600)
SEAT Ibiza Cupra (£16,000)
Mazda 3 (£????)

@rookwise
That is quite a wide price range.
What are you looking for in a car?

Something a bit nippy but smaller than my Leon as I don't really need a bigger car anymore.
Am leaning towards the new 2007 Renault Twingo GT 100. It has a 1.2 turbocharged engine with 100bhp which is more than my Leon 1.4 16v which has 75bhp.
I can't stand BMW's, Citroens, Volvo's.
Vauxhall's I quite like but a Vectra or Astra VXR is quite out of my price range.
Also the new SEAT Leon Cupra but with the spec I want it would come to £23,000 which is way too much

Really don't like BMW's mate. Have experienced lot of problems with them in the past. Also repairs/servicing cost too much + I got a few points on my licence so smaller engine cars are a must for another 3 years atm

Have you thought about a Corsa VXR? £16000, 192bhp and it has all the mod cons like air-con etc.

I second the Suzuki Swift option. Rally-bred technology!

It's a love or hate thing (with the current gen car), but I think the Type-R is a great car!
Old gen R's go for like £11k approved used.
