 Guest.'s recommendation | |
Styling, reasonably cheap to run and maintain, pretty quick as I put calibra turbo engine in mine, pretty reliable if looked after.
Cornering at high speed is a bit iffy, upgrade to polly bushes all round to correct this, £200 plus fitting for whole car,can steam up easily check pollen filter and heater matrix,rust on rear arches and sills it can be expensive to have a bodyshop fit them properly £400ish.
If you can find a decent one buy it and have cheap fast fun, avoid £500 buckets and late ones with ecotec engines,expect to pay roughly £1200 for a decent phase 1 and £2000 for a phase2, best of the bunch in my opinion is the xe,d j plate phase 1in flame red.
