Classic car now, hold value, great fun in summer, fast if tuned up properly.


Bad Points

Need money to own one, getting old so gotta keep an eye on rust, insurance maybe if your young.


General Comments

The rs turbo is a fantastic car in pretty much every way I own a series 1 and I love it they are just great I've had 18 cars in last 6 years and this is the only one I've liked and kept for 2 years but its not all fun they do have there problems so you need a good general knowledge of cars to own one or you are gonna have some very expensive garage bills. My advice is if your thinking of buying one go for it but just take your time when looking as there are some dogs out there as well as nice ones spend as much as you can afford and the series 1 is definitely the one to go for if you have the cash bearing in mind you are looking at at least £4000 for a half decent one with a couple of owners and a good history, mine never fails to put a smile on my face on the rare occasion that I take it out in this weather. Basically the rs is the one to go for forget everything else I mean come on its a turbo that can actually be reliable and used daily in like the head gasket eating Renault 5 turbos.
