As nice as they are, it'd hurt me too much paying £14k for a 14yr old car with 95k on the clock. I'd have to be too careful with it too, which I wouldn't like one bit.

Weird, must be the nice weather bringing them out of peoples garages but I've seen 2 in the space of a week.
First one was Imperial Blue one near Tilehurst station, then a grey one near my work.
Love them, forever will.

Best hot hatch of all time for me. Imperial blue for me though and i will have one in the next few years! Who cares if its a 14 yer old car at 14k? They are only ever going to go up in value so your money is only an enjoyable investment.

They are great, but getting long in the tooth now... Modern cars oblitorate them these days so not so impressive.
Great cars in their day though.

You wouldnt buy one to 'race people' you would buy it for its herritage

Its only like the old MK1 & MK2s. If they have the standard engines in them they couldn't even keep up with an average Focus. Have more fun the old stuff though!

to be fair very few cossies are standard so it would be something special to beat a decent cossie in my opinion anyway and experiencies in tuned cossies.

std wheels are ok, much nicer on 18" rondells or racing hart wheels imo.
Want one so much, i got more excited seeing that cossie than seeing my first r35 gtr tbh.
Still looks dramatic 14yrs on
