Dont like SRi T's, hard to find a good gsi tho. + most seem to be at least 200miles from me.
Just keep looking at the focus, seems to have to full package, but this does mean owning a ford

Do it Jambone, they are awesome looking cars and supposed to be the dogs danglies to drive. Vauxhall can offer you nothing to match it imo, and ze Germans just offer quickish sensible motoring.

Vauxhall can offer me fun and less debt for 3 years tho 
Ze germans will offer free anal lube with servicing?
Ford looks like the best bet, unless i find a dirt cheap Mroadster in which case im having that

Yeah, I think the fact that you MIGHT need to stump up £6k for an engine rebuild is enough reason not to have one.
FRS it is then

Get an impreza Jambo! You know you want one. This is mine and if you had one like mine you will have lots of money left over for insurance! Or you could get a 2dr one for £9k
