i think i've decided on my next car after a loy of research.
my goals were relibility
looks good (sporty)
good performance
probably german or japanese
not to pricey insurance or to run
for about £10,000
hence toyota celica (new model)
maybe 2 years old with about 30k on clock
so i've read all the reviews, but has anyone owned one, if so what are your views?

Just that you'll be lucky to get one, even at auction, for £10k. Think £11k and up.

I quite like them. Did consider one but rejected it for two reasons.
1. Engine is not really very powerful unless you rev the nuts off it. I don't so that type of power delivery doesn't work for me. Bear in mind that although the 190 has more power it's developed at even higher revs.
2. I'm six foot tall and I have to open the sunroof to fit my head in.
That said we have two of them in my office, one 140 and one 190. Both owners seem to be very happy with them. More interestingly the 140 is the only company car left these days and has been used like a pool car for 30k miles. This doesn't seem to have caused any problems.
