Oldest acceptable age for a hot hatch?

[Mr Holgate]

In my 40's and I want a corsa vxr... My. Missus is relentless in mocking me for it

As long as you can get in and out of it without assistance then any car is fair game in my opinion.

I’ve got a 2.0 ST3 - and I am a lot older! In white for a Focus it does attract a lot of glances- or mane it is look at that old bu&&er!

You're fair game so why shouldn't she?

I had to look up what a 2.0 ST3 is. I don't think this thread's for me.

Go for it. Although you can get better hot hatches for similar prices.

Just to clarify my point above, I’m 48 and considering buying a Subaru BRZ and getting the full 2 stage Cosworth supercharger conversion and associated upgrades fitted.......though I am currently homeless and in the middle of a divorce so perhaps I’m having some kind of crisis?

What made you choose the BRZ over Toyota's version out of curiosity?

It’s the same car, just you don’t see so many of the Subaru’s about as you do GT86s

Get a Honda Civic Type R Championship White edition. I had one quite a while ago now, 59 plays, great car. Assuming you’re not looking at new of course.

Yeah, I get that. I think just that they seem slightly rarer appeals.

Just got a gti myself at 50 years old...i know it's a warm hatch but fast enough

 

[newyddion]

get what you want, don't let anyone tell you what car you should be driving and at what age.

 

[WeeGord]

Get yourself a Dacia Sandero and enjoy your old age
