I've narrowed it down to the following... feel free to add any more that I may have overlooked
1999 Golf GTI 1.8
1995 Toyota Celica GT 2.0
2000 Renault Clio 1.4 Sport
2000 Peugeot 206 GTI
1999 Vaux Astra SRi 2.0
MG ZR 1.8 120
Obviously I want it to be quicker than the 1.2 Sxi (shouldn't be too hard) but I also want a balance of reliablity and economy.
Your views are welcome as always 
Cheers

blimey 
was hoping you were going to end the thread with something like
'he didn't see the bollard in the middle of the road and rolled his car, i saw his head hit the steering wheel and he didn't move'
That would of been a more apt ending to his stupid little stunts

MG ZR 120's are 1.6 I believe.
It's 160 or nothing when it comes to them.
I'd say Golf, Astra, or ZR160. If you can find a 160 within in your budget.

Golf or Celica from the list.
Also worth considering a V6 Vectra. They're cheap, reliable, fast and practical. Produce a better sound than everything in your list too.
