Alright Fellas.

Im gonna be getting a new car in the next few months and just want a bit of help choosing one.

It has to be Brand New and mix Speed with Comfort as i have a long drive to work each day. The ones i like the look of at the moment are.

Ford Focus ST170. 0-62 8.2 Secs and top speed of 134mph Price £16,195.
OR
Chrsyler Neon R/T 0-62 9.8 Secs and top speed of 132mph Price £13,985.

I will want to try and tune the engine at some stage so it also needs to be fairly easy and possibe to do.

I know the Neon has 150bhp but what about the ST170?

Other suggestions are welcome but it has to be a new car and £16k or less.

Cheers lads.

But i could get the ST170 now then Upgrade/Trade for a Cosworth.

Civic Type R. I'll check the insurance.
MG ZR. Don't like em.
Astra GSI. Did'nt really want a Vauhall.

So what about the Chrysler then? Looks the fucking Bogs Bollox.

Out of the two the ST170 hands down, but I can think of a few cars for the money i'd rather have. What about:

Clio 172
Civic Type R
Leon Cupra R
Astra GSI

Im checking the Insurance out now for the Type R and a few of the other suggestions.

I have nothing against Vauxhalls but just wanted something different when i get rid of the Corsa.
