doesnt have to be vts just a thought being as ive already had a saxo.
insurance on a vts is £1000 which is what i paid for my furio last year so insurance shouldnt be a problem.
106 gti have thought about but would prefer saxo purely on looks.
would i be able to get a clio 172 for £3000, and would it be in good condition??
may look into a gti-6 whats the performance like on them?

its pointless as every car is diferent mate, you get get a 20year old car with them specs, yet you mite spend a year looking for a vts with them, its the luck of the draw when ur looking bud,
