i know!made me laff!!!

but looking at a nice minter around £2000 mark...i dont think the is anything cheaper in price and insurance for me to get other than a vts/gti really a 1.6 corsa seems silly when i have a 1.4 i guess

but get rid of the corsa for a pug lol im feeling a little silly...

what problems do they suffer from?

It WILL break.

Gearboxes
Coil Packs
Every sensor possible (ABS, Throttle position etc etc)
ECU's
Axles
Air bag wiring

I could go on......

gearboxes yes, but not had any problems from the rest you state from any of my pug 106s,

they arent that bad, certainly no worse than a corsa for reliability

My ex had a VTS and it was the biggest pile of shite ive ever placed my arse in.

Had all the hallmark Pug/Cit problems and had never been ragged etc.

I would NEVER own one. Ever.

You could go on about what? Dude you must know FUCKALL about them. Gearboxes go sometimes, but not everytime. And everything else... get the fuck off the bandwagon and get a fucking grip

You'd get a tidy Mk2 Golf GTi 16v for £2k

I sold my 8v for 1500 & it was in pretty good condition!!
