Surely you are not suggesting somebody on OcUK has no idea what they are talking about?

I for one am especially shocked. Particularly after giving those brilliant recommendations in the "Spec my dad a car" thread :D
 
having actually re-read due to the fact your bro is so stubborn and doesnt listen

just let him ***** his money off its not that you havent tried helping his save money or

buy something cheaper in the long run so you dont have to feel guilty :D

but i would like to know apart from the the badge what wrong with the hyundai fox?

i mean its the 2.7l V6 as well so its no slouch :D

It's wrong wheel drive for a start, wrongwheel drive Coupes fail. It has a cheap nasty plastic interior, it's not very powerful, its just.. arghghg get it out of the thread.

165bhp from a 2.7 :D
 
guessing it was a passing comment haha ive pretty much run out of ideas now :D

but how are the fiesta RS's??? or corsa VXRs?

Fiesta RS? RS Turbo? Do you mean ST?

Fiesta ST is fairly slow for a hot hatch, and the Corsa is supposed to be a reasonable car, but overshadowed by the Renaultsport Clios, which are also much more reasonably priced.
 
Dont really think you could go far wrong with an st myself :). They offer a good blend of performance, comfort and practicality.
As long as he can stomach the MPG .
I have owned 2 st's and ran both in standard guise and also chipped with uprated intercooler , induction and zorst.
In standard form my average mpg was a dissapointing 21. On long motorway journeys I always struggled to reach 30 mpg and if driven in anger low teens is really all you can expect from these. very thirsty !
 
Mondeo ST220? It's Ford, fast enough, would be better than a fiesta/focus on the 40 mile trips and possibly cheaper insurance.

Also surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet...
