Yo

Lately I have breaking my head against 1 topic. Cars.

I am a newbie in this sphere, although I have been proudly posessing a license for 2 years already. Used to drive very little and uncomfortable Russian cars loads of time ago. So now I am breaking my head against a choice

What shall I buy.

Loads of my friends say that French cars suck.

But the problem is that I only fit into Peugeot 308 perfectly well. On the other hand I dunno whether I will be able to afford it or not as the service is quite pricey.

So, friends, who can help me with any advice? I am 198 cm of height and 308 or Ford Focus are fine to me to some extent... but... I am limited with money.

Any thoughts?

Not sure how available they are, or if suited to Russian roads/winters... but my personal favorite is the Mazda Miata. I think they were badged as a "Eunos" in Europe.. I've got a '99, had it since new. Inexpensive, sporty, convertible, good mileage thumbsup.gif.

My car blows goats. Hell, a fucking goat would be better transportation than my car.

very nice Ex. I am going to rent one of those this week for work. Got a ride in a 2010 SS last week at my client site. The guy picked it up used with 650 miles on it. Totally loaded.

The SSs are awesome. This is the RS which is the best I can do! They are really fun cars and you're right, you can pick up very lightly used ones at pretty good prices. This baby is new though smile.gif
