its getting harder and harder to make choices like this.

simply because all the decent hothatchs were made years ago and are getting too old and the newer stuff thats now in that price range is just crap

Just meant in comparison to a corsa. They are quite roomy inside.

Decided.

Zetec S............

Choice of 2. Red or Purple. One has 64K, the other 72K. Both within the price range and very tidy.

Couldn't find fuck all else I liked.

Also halves the insurance from the 2 litre

purple 1 dont get red if your not one for cleaning cars.

nice cars quick through the gears, make sure you get 1 with all the kit on it.

not as well built as the corsa though

tbh, the reason is the out of the box handling and insurance that swayed it. Fuel consumption is better than the 1.2 zetec aswell. The other contender was a 1.6 Sport, but i've done that.

Build quality i'm not too arsed about. I had a Saxo and put up with that, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I know there pretty quick and to be honest i'm not arsed. I only potter back and to work and to me mams every now and again.

Fed up. Had it for nearly 4 years and want a change

Hang on, that might be nearly 3....

Costs a lot to run coz you can't help but put your foot down, Fed up of bouncing about, fed up of the looks, the drive.....just fed up

Plus the wheel bearing is on it's way out and the clutch release bearing is making a racket. I can't even be arsed getting it done.
