Hot hatch contenders for 5k
- Thread starter Muffin`
- Start date
51/52 plate CTRs are around this price privately and not necessarily knackered either. An extra 1k will gaurantee a nicer pre-facelift (2001-2003).
I doubt insurance will be any better than an LCR mind you and likewise with a DC2. That just about leaves the 172. make sure you try specialist brokers like Noel Dazely, Chris Knott, Adrian Flux and A-Plan etc. as I find comparison sites rather inaccurate.

Been happy with the general car features of any of the many hire cars you've had? That Focus must have had a pretty decent drive, minus the non-hot-hatch power, even if it did read 130mph on that dual carriageway.
Haha, that was a good day
Awful soft handling, damn noisy at legal motorways and no torque unless it's got over 6000rpm on the clock. I'd much rather have a Type-R.
Any specialist insurers?
Maybe the hot hatch idea needs to go on hold until whatever multiplier is throwing your quotes through the roof is resolved?
Fun doesn't only come in IG17+ 180bhp+ packages.
Bit big i'd think dont think it'd have the 'drive like a knob' factor of a CTR etc.
reliabilty + saftey = lacking?
I'll take a look, policys for DC2's are £600ish but I'm a mechanical noob and I don't know what to look for when looking at them and I fear of buying a nail
When did safety become a priority?
Someone round here bought one for something like 500 quid and has barely had to do anything on it. You could buy 5 of them and have 4 spares incase something goes wrong - or one really mint one

I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about.
Screw the hot hatch, get yourself a proper car; an Mx-5!
Can only get on with the mk1 in black and they're all rust buckets for 2-3k. I dont want to pay 4k-5k for one as it's just not worth it in my opinion. And the Mk2 just looks 'gay' :/
I'm sorry I have no idea what you're talking about.
Focus speedos do overread quite a bit. You were probably only going 50 Mph.
But not Fiesta's, right?
Its a good budget for a nice vRS but I'm not sure its a car I would recommend where the main criteria is "a car that I can drive like a knob"
I would describe it as a great value all rounder though.
Haven't you got like 4-5 accidents in the last 5 years too? How is that possible :/

MK2 1.8i S, 140bhp, LSD and 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. Who cares if you look gay in it, you'll be going too fast to be recognised
