dont know what car to get next, my criteria is as follows....
- must look half decent
- price upto £5k
- Insurance group cant excede 10-11 (the lower the better really)
- Quite nippy (must be nippier than my sxi or there will be no point of changing cars)
This car will be a stop gap for 2 years maybe when i can afford the insurance/running costs of a bigger car.... golf 1.8/1.9tdi, clio sport, gti 180, etc etc.
Was thinking of a zetec s, as their sporty, nippy, good handling, but the interior is gash and thats whats putting me offf.
Thinking of the newest facelift VTR, the X-53 reg ones. I have been in a P reg VTR which was quite nippy my mate is happy with his car.
So anyone got any good photos , mainly loooking for videos of them 0-60 etc, as ive heard the facelift ones have 10 more bhp? cheers

Cant belive im even considering a VTR, but theres NOTHING out there that fits my criteria.
206 xsi's hold their value too well....

VTR is best value supermini, nothing can touch it for the price.

Not sure, you need to post that question on SSC i guess.
Its french so woudl not expect high reliability, but it is a modern car, and a late model that has been properly serviced, cant see it throwing up loads of problems.
