Do you want something red and Italian?
Only if it means I can wear a moustache and Hawaiian shirt

You can still get a GR86, should be fairly depreciation proof due to limited run and had a good write up in this months Evo.

Wonder what they're like inside for someone 6' 2"?
I mentioned a few months ago that a friend got an i30 N a while ago and that was really good fun
Very practical too - think I can find something more exciting/interesting though...

£40k budget and you’re looking at 230bhp girls cars?
Get something from Porsche, ///M, AMG with 350bhp+ at least!

It's got a Ferrari engine chopped in half. What's not to like.

Well under budget, fairly new, 2dr coupe and 470bhp. As far as I can see it's just missing the manual element.

Alternative, if a 540i fits the bill:
Lexus GSF
Still no stick though I'm afraid

I always wonder about buying the best spec but worst colour model available (so it’s cheaper than a popular colour) and then getting it wrapped. You get the colour you want plus paint protection..

Good wraps are not cheap, you can usually tell they’re wrapped as the finish isn’t as good as paint. Then you’ll probably have to pay to have the wrap removed when you’re finished as no one will buy a wrapped car in case there are horrors lurking underneath. Then you’ve got a rubbish colour car to try and sell

Friend of that height has one and he's never complained. I sat in it (all 192cm of me) and could get comfortable.DaveE wrote: Thu Nov 17, 2022 2:55 pmThat's an interesting optionMikeHunt wrote: Thu Nov 17, 2022 2:30 pm You can still get a GR86, should be fairly depreciation proof due to limited run and had a good write up in this months Evo.
