Agreed on the MK1 MX5, picked one up a few months back for 500 quid, great basis for a project, very simple, rust is killer though.

[lwlntek]

Definitely going to have to put micra’s like the k11 in the under 2k. With the stuff gizfab is doing for them. Mine has springs and bigger 15x7 wheels. Handles amazing for what it is, always get compliments on the cars handling from £90 springs and £400 wheels and tyres

(Buying a 1.0 L and putting a 1.3/4 L motor in on the 1.0 gearbox gets 5 seconds off the 0-60)

[arceras]

330ci is impossible to find at this price man :( Or yeah, you got a lot of work to do on them and they have (very) high mileage (at least in Europe)

5K FOR AN MX5 ?? JEEZ, i remember when u could pick them up for a grand, and that was not even long ago

[MPPTL]

As a 944 owner i can 100% agree, fantastic all rounders. Some interesting choices on your list 👍

[christian_urocar]

The 944 displayed here is the S2… you won’t find this under 5, 000£ . the 944 S2 came with a 3.0l 4 cyl. The biggest 4 cyl made at the time.

Finally an EP3 in your videos I've been waiting so long! Love mine paid £700 for my insurance at 19 👌

[ApothecaryTerry]

If I had the time, money and space I would definitely have a 944 project car and basically restomod it. Sadly I have none of those things...

[baker]

Twingo RS's are creeping to around the 2k mark now. Pretty fun little warm hatch 🐣

[nickminto]

I've met wez a few times ( ep3 type r) he's a good guy and has some amazing parts on that car.

[aibel]

The 335i n54 should have made this list

[marianarvinte]

JB mate been wanting to ask you for a while... Please do a video of cars with air suspension/superior comfort for under £15k

[Skillsu]

the mk1 Leon Cupra is superior to both the golf gti and audi s3, surprised it didn't make the list when the 2 others did

[josephcorner]

would've been nice to see some cheap off road project cars such as the land rover discovery

[FLAVOURBMX]

i am thinking of buying a subaru liberty 4gen would you recomend?

[SupraDuprah]

I really hope to buy an mx5 at some point in the near future. They're going up in price quickly. 🤪

[balham]

I’m sorry if you made a video such as this before
A video on the best reliable cars for new drivers
To help them choice and buy a first car 😊

[Flishlakv]

The 350 gt is gangster with the vader kit but man don't have 7k laying around for a cheap example

[RRS]

I wish in my country it would be easier to modify cars, first we need to go to a 3rd party company who gets TUV on your parts, about 500 euros per part, then you go to City Hall to be appointed to a mechanic ship who can put your modifications on your car, then you go to a special tech inspection which there's only 2 of in the country, about 300 and 600km each from me, then if you pass you go back to city Hall, get the parts printed Into your cars Papers and then it's road legal. This process takes about 8 to 12 months.

an E46 is my dream car but insurance for one is a nightmare
