00 declan. i think they look great and they're excellent value for money. i'm not really bothered about a mad driving experience once they're comfortable and nippy. my key criteria are reliablity and nice to look at. couldn't drive some borin old hatch.

Get the toyota altezza's, same car but come with the beams racing engine, if your going to live with the poor fuel economy you might as well have the beams with the bit extra power.
Fairly reliable, but can require some work, like any car, timing belt/pump etc at 120k miles, check with mate tomorrow, has one in kildare what he had to do when got his. -------------------- 98 Golf Mk4 1.9TDI - BBS LeMan Reps, Apex RDX Coilovers, Angel Eye projector headlights, Shark Fin aerial, Tinted clear side repeaters, German Plates
I cannot fault these tyres tho - they grip the road like sh1t to a blanket |

Quite nice to drive, not very nice inside, not very fast, very hard on petrol, not very nice to look at. Wouldn't buy one.

Go for an altezza, lighter on fuel and you get 70bhp more.

most decent brand cars are perfect after 200k as long it had a owner who knows that it has to be fukin serviced

was only talking to my friend's cousin about his old one tonight, total sow of a car on petrol. Not fast either, the altezza will leave them for dead in any situation and as I seen the other night will throw the back out even on dry tar.
guessing deemc's one has got you thinking. --------------------  I <3 mk3's <--- just for you Tom. |

wouldn't be fussed with an altezza. too expensive and that as i'm not bothered with performance. i'm just lookin for a nice sensible cruiser. lookin at a vectra sport now sure.

barry if it helps the sensible car is to save money for the mk1 caddy with a kr 16v on bike carbs, smooth bay, full spray, custom interior etc. etc. that will be built over the next 12 months.

All i see above is an excuse!! Buy Paul's red 8valve if you want to save money and still have street cred!! Or a slammed deasul Bora, or a cheap merc 00/01 E class.... Anything but a goodamn japanese durt box
