See, thats whats wrong with society these days, we are brought up to believe that puntos, clios, and corsas are good quality, well designed vehicles. Buy a punto and i'll kill you  Get something that stands out, dude! Get a Triumph or a Mini or something, something with a bit of personality!

Rover 200 all the way!!!! Obviously i got the old 214sei, chucked the 1.4 out and got a honda civic 1.6 engine in it, put a turbo kit on it and now its a flying machine. The only reason I used a civic engine is because its japenese
I do prefer toyota above anything else. But are usually too costly. Get a Yaris T-Sport is cheap to insure, group 7. Or an old corolla, they're quite nice and will never break down

Why must it be from 24, an age restriction, lol!!!! The tomcat is a perfect example of rover not being portrayed as an old mans car. I wont criticise other peoples cars, vw etc. So why should you stab rover?
Which car do you have??? Lets pick faults

I once had to replace the head gasket on a Rover 220i Tomcat that had a genuine 40,000kms (25,000mls) on it. Pretty poor in my opinion.
Inserting a Civic 1.6 engine into your Rover 200 was a good move. It's a far better motor than the K-series boat anchor originally fitted.
Toyota's are the ultimate in reliability, often they are the ultimate in boredom too.

Nothing wrong with with the Fiat Punto, The 1999 and on 1.2 16v 3 door models look the part (My wife made me say that shes got one) Put some Lexus lights on it and its a job well done. Low insurance, very good fuel economy, However if you want ultra low runnig costs go for the base model.

I take that back about the 24 years old age thing...
To own a rover your age group must be from too young to know any better to too old to know any better.....

Minis are great! You can do ANYTHING to them. My mates got a 3.5ltr v8 in his, its RAPID off the line, but it still oinly does about 100mph! Its been tweaked that way.
Check this bastard out, i'm planning to start building one in the new year:
