Don't buy a 1.2 8v, your better off with the 1.0 12v.

either get an sxi or a special edition with the extras on, watch for cracked b pillars, and get either arden blue, star silver or black, flame red will fade and only looks good after a polish.

whats your price range ally?

tbh, my old dear has just got a C and i dont like it one bit. its nice to look at and the interior is alright, the seats are nice and supportive...but its drives like a git The clutch is really heavy and the gearbox is similar to that of a focus - clunky and stiff (although i suppose you would get used to it etc).

have a butchers on ebay eitherway and see what you can get hold of You can get a corsa B T plate for around the 2k mark and a P-S plate for around the 1k mark

Looking for an older one, im going to go to Newport car auctions to have a ganders and see if i can get some half decent and reletivley(sp) cheap.

Just need a run around for work, and if im really strapped for cash, might end up getting a metro

I'd rather have a Cinq Sporting than my 1.2 8v.

I'm sure a GT enqine would fit in with enough persuation
