I would love a lotus Elise.
Failing that something that has a really noisy turbo on it. Softtop. vented disc brakes all round and CD player.

Was gonna get a 206 HDI, but after taking one for a test drive I changed my mind. Then i tested a Focus TD coulda walked faster.

I know my current car (sierra Sapphire) isnt fast but I do like it.

That would be a Smart Roadster then. Ok the turbo isn't that noisy but you could always fit a dump valve & it comes with paddle gear shift on the steering wheel

Yeah I saw that - it looked brilliant fun to drive, almost like the nearest you'd get to flying while on the ground. But £22K aargh!

Clarksons story about having to be driven home sitting in the back was funny.

Personally I prefer the Primera...

But if you want a small sports car why not look around for a Honda Beat?

Small, convertible and only 600cc
