Practical 2+2 sports car ideas - Richard H-B
I have just sold my very very quick but not very practical Westfield, which was fine for just my wife and myself, but not now we are 3! We are looking for a slightly more practical sportscar, that I can still use in hillclimbs and sprints. Up to about £12K ish. It will need to have a small rear seat, some luggage space and I would prefer rear wheel drive. We thought a Porsche 911, but it will be rather old for that money and big bills loom in my mind. A Fiat Coupe, but that is front wheel drive. I don't mind working on it (I built the Westfield), but I would prefer not to be doing that most of the time!. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

You'll be lucky to get a 968 Club Sport for your £12k, it would be likely to have spent a lot of time on Track Days already and you'd have to instal a rear seat. But a useful 'sleeper' is the Nissan 200SX, which is rear drive, goes well and could surprise a few people at speed hillclimbs.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
