I have the Calibra for today whilst the lady has the Audi 
It is a shed  but still can't wait to have a little go in it, as I haven't driven one before

due to my slow puncture im currently running 2wd in my cally, if i were to have to do this on a long term basis it would be up for sale VERY quickly
They are comfy cars and youd be suprised how much shit you can cart around in them with the seats down. Very practical.
But if u want fun buy the turbo

Gear box probs apparently  also some misfire so a nice easy job
Colin - I haven't bought it yet no, I am buying one in October Hopefully, I have had a look round and seen a few 7's in the price range so will wait till I get my pay out and buy it then

if its missfiring id hazard a guess to the plugs being incorrectly gapped which will take you 2mins to correct.
Gearboxs are cheap F20's will be only £30-50 but ill pass on the removal and refitting etc

I am hoping the missfiring will be something simple like you said
The gear box prob is intermitant so I am hoping it's low on oil *fingers crossed* going to do a service change all fluids etc... and see what comes out
I don't fancy changing the gear box  but we'll see
