106 gti would be rough at £2k, youd pick up a mint vts for that though

106 gti would be a shitter at that price. Saying that tho i picked mine up for just over 3k and its only got 25k mileage and done me proud up to now.

306 gti would have a high insurance.

I would go for the saxo if you cannot afford the 106 but i would strongly recommend paying the extra for the 106.

I got cheaper quotes for a 2.0 than for a 1.6 sport


Depends on the original engine/group of the car prior to a conversion

IE a converted GSI would be more to insure than a 1.2 8v thats been converted

Look in classifieds & get some quotes based on whats for sale

My mate used to have one, very capable car and the mid range pick up is very good. Being a Citroen its cheaper to buy than the 306 equivelant too!
