Hi guys, I'm going through a MASSIVE midlife crisis at 26 years old!
Basically, I have a Honda civic coupe, it's a great car BUT I'm CRAVING a sort of middle class, keeping up appearances sorta car but slammed cause I still love stance cars...
I have a grand budget and want something with a wood dash or something tragic along those lines...
Please show me what you guys think I could get for my budget that fits my criteria
Cheers guys!

Is a Honda Civic Coupe not middle class enough?! My only suggestion is not far removed from that - a Honda Accord. They always have a good plastic wood dashboard!

Honda Legend?
My first thought was a Rover 800 to be fair..

'80s/'90s, middle-class aspirational, manual, wooden dash for £1K. I think you're going to struggle to tick every box. My first thought was also for the 800 series Rover, although you'd find manuals thin on the ground. That diesel example looks rather nice and a fair price. If you want to go all 'Keeping Up Appearances' how about the original Richard-mobile? www.gumtree.com/p/rover/rover-214sli-hatchback-1.4l-petrol-1994-/1356013312Saloon or hatchback.

‘Middle class’ means ‘conservative’ means ‘something British and sh1te’.
Rover 800 and Granada as already mentioned would be the obvious choices. Maybe a senator or Carlton although they’re a little European.
Maybe bmw e28 or merc w123 but they’re a bit cosmopolitan for the staid middle classes you describe.

What about a rover 600? Slightly smaller than the 800, not quite so luxo-barge, but still keeping up apearances-ish. I cant remember seeing one properly stanced, but it should happen.
