    after a new car for work? decisions?

    right im after another car for work, i have a r19 1.4 at the mo but its pants and is about dead! bear in mind i have the williams for trackdays and weekend fun, so whatever i get will be 100% std!

    looking at either a
    1) saxo vts
    2) 106gti or rallye mk2
    3) clio valver
    4) 205gti 1.9

    the saxo vts and 106's being more at top of list due to age really, already owned a saxo before so i know all about em so no worries there, spending about £1500 at most

    what u lot think? any other cars btw, must be cheapish to insure and run btw
