New member needing advice
Hi,
Iv currently got a Lotus Elise (which I am selling), and am looking at Supra's and RX7's.
I really want something that isn't going to cause my bank heart attacks, not so much in petrol, but on going wrong.
Iv been looking into these for a while now and totally love them, lightweight, no frills is 100% what I want!! BUT I hear too many varied stories on them to make a proper decision so have come on here.
They seem to be either spot on or horrendous, cant find a happy medium. Changing oil every 2.5k n that doesn't bother me because that’s only £25 a go, but am trying to work out whether im going to be in the garage non stop with bearings, bushes, engine trouble n loads of hours labour every month spending up to 2k a year just keeping it alive and praying nothing major goes wrong whilst doing it.
I should probably mention I use my car every day, bout 15 miles round trip a day up n down A19 to girlfriends house.
Anyway iv seen this one which iv fallen for but am also looking at a supra N.A. Just don’t know what to do!!

Cheers, Jonny!!

If you're looking for something easier on your bank account than the Elise, you might want to go for something newer and with a better track record than the old JDM supercars. Such as a Mazdaspeed Miata or S2000. Both are affordable, good on gas(compaired to the FD or MKIV), and plenty of fun to drive.

Most people are around 12-15 mpg. There are a few higher and then there are some who I don't think know how to properly calculate it. You can count on 15 mpg being the high side. IMO, if you are looking for something to help save your bank account from an Elise; this is NOT that car.
