Well known rep as a hairdressers car, midlife crisis car for the man who can't afford much.

Do not get me wrong, as an instrument of driving precision the MX-5 is brilliant. They used to clean up the D-Stock classes in autocross all the time (when I did that type of stuff). But as a car that looks 'cool', it fails miserably.

I thought it had a rep in america for being a 'gay' car tbh, wouldn't stop me driving one myself personally as i've driven two in my life and throughly enjoyed both, i'd like to have a go of one of those LS1 swapped Miatas but that's an american trend really.

Took a half hour test drive in a Toyota Prius last weekend. Went on the M6 , local roads etc. - got back and the trip computer calculated the cost of the journey as £0.00. Now that is economical!

What kind of age are these Fiestas Kurt?

I've got a 55 reg 1.6 Focus which I've had for two years and it's been great. The build is pretty good and it handles nicely. I had a Fiesta before this and that handled great too. Parts for Fords are cheap too and the zetec engines don't need a timing belt change until about 100k.

That's the limit of my car knowledge, though.

100k miles or 10 years old, whichever is sooner, that's the case with my focus anyway.
