Probably a case of what doesn't go wrong!

You never really see any around these days, used to love them when I was younger!

Ive got one, they do cost alot to keep goin but you'll hear from many thats drove them that its worth it
There so much fun to drive, forget about gti's etc....

Try n get a standard one, less messed around with etc they run alot better tahn tuned ones as theyre 80% off the time gonna blow a turbo etc

They are fantastic little cars, tbh the only reason they have such a bad rep is because so many of them have the boost wound up, and nothing else uprated to suit...if fairly standard and well looked after (rare) then they arnt that bad. had mine for just under a yr, only probs was starter motor sticking...

Why does it have a 1.8 from a Clio in it?

What are they as standard, 1.3 turbos?

Good and fun little things And they can shift for what they are

We had one wasnt standard but hell it was quick

See garage full spec ect

Only thing you do need to watch for is gearbox/head/fire

Standard R5's are ugly, the GT however looks pretty good. That pink thing though is terrible.

How mint is that

To be honest it's one of those cars that can look ok but I'd be embarrased to drive, same with Nova's.

Well no not really, S2K's, 350s etc etc look fine with the right kit. Thing is most kitted R5's look like the Pink one above (no offence)
