I know loads of peeps have asked this question before but here goes again!

Just how much fun is a 2.0 corsa?
My mate has a mk2 golf gti which is such a laugh sort of thinkin of gettin a pug 205 1.9gti as can pick a good one up for around 1100.

What sort of mpg and reliability have the red top owners got? i drive 50 miles a day so need to be able to trust it!

who are you insuring with and is it just the same as astra gte insurance?

so many questions i dont know waht to do!

If its fitted properly then you should only get the problems you'd have with it in the doner car, with better fuel economy.

chances are a cav is less likely to have had a hard life, unless it has a towbar!
