And im aware that 'the only reason people buy them is because they cant aford a 911' blah blah blah...
but i was just checking renewal quotes and i can insure the 2.5 for the same price as an XE corsa or ibiza cupra 
got to be so much more car for the money?
anybody owned one?

i could probably just about afford one, after a few words with the bank manager,
and wouldnt be paying much more on insurance than i did on my vtr last year.
just worried about parts costs, servicing etc.
jakey- the speed isnt why im interested tbh, im chucking all of my money away on the corsa every month. its a 11 year old shopping car, 'you cant polish a turd' comes to mind.

so are parts stupidly expensive?
obviously it would be left completley standard, its just the running costs that are putting me off.
opinions on reliability? (based on first hand experience, not what jim from down the pub heard from his dogs great uncle)
anybody had one?
