Which of the 2 should i go for after my Corsa is sold?

Feel free to add any further suggestions. Looking to spend £2k max. Insurance groups cannot be higher then the 2 cars already listed so probably no Turbo cars.

I've grown fond of Nova's after seeing their potential at PVS. I've always liked the Rallye series especially the old skool S1 106 versions.

Both in the same kinda price range and both fairly even on performance.

Nova GSi, you will regret buying the Rallye if your a Vauxhall man at heart.

I'd go for the rallye, there much rarer, cheaper on fuel, tax and insurance, faster and handle like a go cart.
I'm hoping to buy one once my corsa is sold and i've got enough money left over after buying my bike

I'm planning on buying the car and paying off the first years premium with the money from selling my Corsa. That way i'll be quids in.

Think i may have to test drive each car and see.

yup 1.6 16v 106 gti lump, s2 16v are very rare and left hand drive and black rallyes also pretty hard to get hold of,its a hard choice you got there but im in the same boat and leaning more towards the rallye

i would only get a GSi if its a silk voilet but you probally wont find one, so id go for a cheap 106 GTi rather than a rallye

Found 2 Silk Violet GSi's. The ONLY colour I would have for a Nova GSi

GTi insurance is out of the question, plus a cheap GTi is like £3k where as a MINT GSi or S1 106 Rallye is half that.

Rallye is your best bet, beats the gsi in all departments

I'd settle for either. Think it'll come down to the test drive and finding a mint example of each.
