I'm looking fora new year as a runaround while I take my corsa off the road
It must have 5 doors !
Iv been looking at escort gti's and pug 306 dturbos
What would people reccomend. It's purely for a runaround as we are expecting our 1st kid and a 5 door is more suitable
I have 500 spare ATM but I can stretch it abut for a nice example.

i have an escort and love it, drives well and really easy to fix, also the parts are dirt cheap and readily availiable.

Bought a Mk4 Astra estate a few weeks back. Good con, aircon, pas, electric windows e.t.c. All it needed was a few brake lines £20 later and 1 years MOT. Cost me less than £500

Couple of subtle mods and they look nice though.
