r5s tend to be very unreliable through the winter but if you did get one try and find a raider

As above r5 raider the blue one with black wheels. They are an old car now though. I would be tempted by the glanza as I love boost. Gotta be the vts though with some sensible mods to keep up with the glanza.

R5s are too unreliable. Glanzas are mostly owned by boy racers and usually ragged to pieces. Take your time and save up for a slightly modded VTS. I would if i could.

Had to have a little giggle at that, Saxo's have a rep too!

Personally I'd go for the Saxo, far less dated looking, gonna be far less problematic (hopefully) and will be a hell of a lot easier to cope with. Turbo engines that aren't maintained regardless of cost end up bumming your bank account senseless.

if youve got a saxo owner bank account indeed, i mean, a second hand engine and turbo is £400, man you could get 3 saxo vts's for that.

a saxo is shit

a glanza is shit and is basically a micra with a sneezing problem

a r5 turbo is just an unreliable shit box.

conclusion, only a teenager would want any of these cars as they are so badly built that they weigh nothing and go 'ok' for a little hatchback. anyone a little bit older and sane would get a decent car and if they wanted a performance car they would buy a fast car to start with that is properly built.

oh how i kick myself for doing what i did to my vts

depends how much you wana spend...

mint R5gtt is near impossible to find, keeping it mint = just as hard

glanzas, can be silly fast in a straight line, but not great in the corners

saxo's = cheap fun

i witht the boyo's here like, glanzas are wank, can get silly power but onky in a straight line as youll never get one round a corner..... ever...should be american tbh, r5s i fucking love and will own a mint one very soon, be a VERY longwinded project but itl be a car i keep till i die, not really a fan of the vts (8V FTW!!!) but id go for the vts out of all, simpley dislike glanzas = wank anyway... r5s aint cheap and are too old and abused (not to mention rare as rocking horse shit) to find decent one plus how unreliable they are to begin with mean vts is the only viable option and is a good all rounder with good scope for improvement, ...................... but that r5 on piston heads ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! think i just did a sex wee
