View Full Version : What hot hatch would you buy for 2k?
When my williams sells i want a van but i can't help bout thinking bout buying a car to use for work and track.
What would you buy and why?
would be a fezzy rs for me :D good luck finding a goodun tho
if its for track use n all, 205 all the way
knowsit....205 would be leagues ahead of the others for fun on track imo
I voted Golf, but only because I've had enough 205s now! Still yet to see what all the fuss is about with these Mk2s. But that's just a personal thing.
Though saying that, if it's being used daily for work the Golf would be the better bet by far anyway.

as much as i love the golfs, i had to choose the 205, there great fun to drive :twisted:
a nice sorted 205 mi16 on carbs!
you could get a 106 gti for under 2k now
sooner have one any day over a old 205
not on the list but.......clio 16v :wink:
Had 3 clio 16v's and a williams so fancy a change.
If i'm honest i'm swaying towards a mk2 golf, never really understood the fuss about 205's. I drove a miami blue 1.9 for a bit, handled shit and seemed gutless, was supposed to be a good one too :?
Plus with a golf when i need more power my mate owns a company called Voodoo motorsport who do 20v turbo conversions, 225 lump fitted mapped and running i can get done for £750 all i provide is car and 225 TT lump, money covers fitting, emerald ecu and mapping. Mates rates :wink:
Oh i dont know should just buy a van..................
I'd buy an below average williams thats mechanically ok but may have interior/exterior problems
If your going to be doing more tracks days than the odd journey here and there then for me its a perfect choice...
you already know the car and you can rip it to bits inside if its a rough un and be more naughty with this one that you'd dare with the old un :wink:

Im torn between the 205 and the rs turbo so didnt vote lol.
The golfs are slower than valver pace so i wouldnt bother :lol:
find a mk2 gti then and just whack a tt lump in!
Guess how i voted ....VAG's where it's at!!!
Buy a good one and it will last forever :D

I know the golfs are slower, its not about pace to start with, look at the vedub scene :wink: Plenty of parts, etc etc. Plus i could use it for work and only then run the 1 car. Plus i could play bout with it which i'm reluctant to do with the williams.
Only be a 3dr oak green for me if i get one though. Like rocking horse shit but i'd be in no rush, could wait for one to come along.
Winston knowsit, the futures German :wink:

Whats the point of this thread? You have already made up your mind :wink:
Shame the williams is so mint!!!! .....You can't beat them as track cars imo
Oak green :P
Mk2 16v's will keep up with valvers ...even stevens imo
No i havnt LOL
I want to run 1 vehicle and should buy a astra 1.7dti. I'm a bricklayer so can make money with it doing private jobs and get free diesel in the week :wink:
I know if i buy a car though i'll end up in the same position as the williams and wont want to park it on site and risk it getting hit, covered in cement etc etc.
Just the thought of a 2yr old diesel van doesn't excite me LOL Spose it is only for a couple of years until i've got my own brickwork firm and can have what I want :twisted:
VW caddy work horse ...With a 16v lump ..theres your answer :P

everyone whos overtaking when the turbo pops along with the zetec b/e lol
voted 205 gti, but I'd keep the Willy and get a load for the van Scott, or failing that for £2k Saxo VTS, makes the most sense, newer, quick, handles well in std trim...
206 with an mi16 mate
:shock: :D
