Bangernomics car of the week/day part III

NCT and tax are a bit short but if it has been cared for as suggested I'd be confident of it passing an NCT.

1750

1 owner. And yeah i know its ugly as f88k but it wouldnt bother me.

E1950.

Apart from being ugly they are meant to be a pig of a car. 28mpg too :eek: you'd get that out of a Boxster (just leave the family at home)

In all fairness now that's a lot of family bus for that money.

28mpg :eek:

Would the extra space justify that low mpg. I dont know. But i remember a friend of mine with 4 lil kids has a galaxy and is complaining there is not enough space.

I just checked and it says it was bought by a dealer last month....

Purchased by a Dealer on : 09/03/2014

Old but nice looking 3 series 1.6 auto.

Wouldn't say it pulls like a train.

I knew a chap that had a new one of those in 87. I was only 8 but it was an amazing car back then.
I think even the outward opening rear side windows were electric.

I'm really not trying to stir up sh1t here but I cannot understand how people love that Mazda yet hate the MR2 from yesterday… I know different strokes for different folks but I can't begin to fathom it

Ok. I would be one such person. I have fond memories of the Mazda but that shape MR2 just looks like a bucket of sh1t to me. The shape doesn't do anything for me and any I've seen or touched were in terrible condition.

Fair enough having fond memories of a car. Just because the MR2s you've been seen aren't in nice condition doesn't mean they all are.

Its a very different car to the MR2, to be fair.

You mean that the Mazda is slow, soft, woolly and disconnected where the MR2 is crisp and agile and engaging

You sure about that?

I like that 626 coupe too, my uncle had one brand new in the 80s and it was a nice place to be in.

Edit - that Primera is a great find. Pity it's white

New NCT, Probably a bit strong price wise but it's pretty clean looking (better than mine anyway :pac:)
