205 > 306, even if the maths doesn't agree.

Impreza's better though *wink*

I can vouch for the 172/182 clio. Blisteringly quick, 38mpg combined and the most important thing is it's not a Type R.

I know, light weight is the best form of performance. I was always tempted with an Elise. I have no friends so a 2 seater would suit me fine! But as a daily drive the Clio is fantastic.

I'm not saying that the clios are bad, just that they're not blindingly fast *wink*

Evening all. Possibly against my better judgement i've just bought a 205 1.6 gti. It's a late j plate in black with tons of history. Paint is a little ratty though. Need to get a haynes for it now as i've no doubt shitloads of probs are going to start coming out the woodwork!

Hurrah!

I've just finished sorting out one of these as something to blast about in, its great fun, fast enough to be fun, not fast enough to get in too much bother.

Give me a shout if you need any info.

Don't worry tom, i have a steadily building list of questions! So far the only issues are a slightly high and erratic idle and a leaky sunroof. Started checking online to see what i need to do to start sorting it out.

Will post pics when i can be arsed to wash it. *wink*
