got up to 2k to spend.. maybe a bit more if i save a little!

Just been looking at escort rs turbo's (1.6) insurance is cheap

Other than that.. i was thinking a better golf than i have been looking at previously. Mk3 still but maybe a 2.0 16v instead of the 8v.

Dont want a corsa or anything french

opinions?

Dont want another corsa by the way.. forgot to mention that haha My mums lendning me the money and i will have to pay her back on a weekly basis. With what ever i sell off my gsi can fund towards the new car.. so might only be a few hundred quid with my wages adding on that aswell. So not great deal more tbh..

When my gf does have the car and i'm without one then i can save up a bit faster

I have always loved them, but looking on ebay it seems that most of them have damaged locks due to someone trying to get into them.. or most of them are on q plates

I wanted a RST for a while but heard the engines were really unrealible so I'm thinking about a Mk2 Golf GTI instead.

Maybe its coz alot of them are ragged and thats why they are so unrealible.
Bound to be good ones around.

TBH i wouldnt even dream about spending 2k on a rst, would be a mess. I was looking at escort and fiesta RST before deciding to LET my nova. Even with a budget of 4k i couldnt find anything worth having. If you really want a RST, save some more pennys and buy a good one. There stunning, quality cars and the good ones are worth every penny of 4k+ imo
