Life's too short for a beige Corsa. These are the cars that turn heads, put a grin on your face, and still cost less than a holiday. All MOT-checked and market-priced.
There's a sweet spot in the used market where depreciation has done its thing but the car still has soul. MX-5s, Celicas, MR2s, Boxsters, Z3s, Alfas — cars that were designed to be fun, not just functional. At £5k, you can afford a properly good one.
We check the same 12 data points as every other pick — MOT history, market pricing, reliability data — but we also look for the stuff that matters when you're buying with your heart: rust, timing chain health, and the known model-specific gotchas that catch people out.
