Nice cars i think if you can get a mint one. I also like the Clio 1.4 RT if you don't mind a bit less in the power.

i've had 2 xr2i's now - IMO you get a lot of car for your money!! Watch out for blue smokers, serious rust around filler cap and rotten sills!! If you can find a tidy one then do it o yeah one more thing - they handle like a sack of shit unless lowered!!

You can prob pick up a new model 1.1 106 for around 1k these days. I've got one now and are not bad.
Or maybe get a K reg Corsa or late Nova

Much rather get the 2i IMO, quicker, better build and less laughable If you can try and get a silver 2i with frst recaros
