Get an Astra coupe 2.0 turbo limited/bertone edtion. Looks gr8 and goes like poo poo off a shiny shovel&#33;
Or a Seat Leon Cupra R (same reason as above) but 210bhp out a 1.8&#33;&#33;&#33;
Of course I&#39;m biased, I work for &#39;em&#33;

focus rs would kill a leon [/b][/quote]
Probaly true but I dont get to drive a RS Focus

you ever heard of the german leon with 490bhp?
there&#39;s a video of it doing 190 mph on the autobahn, which is pretty impressive

however, it was 5 up at the time...

&#39;kin hell

Anyway back on topic......
With cars nowdays it&#39;s always best to look a bit further down the line in terms of costs-servicing being a big one.
For example an Astra 16 valve will need it&#39;s cambelt changed about every 40,000 miles, so if you do high mileage it may cost ya.
Best way to find out about the servicing intervals on a car is to go to a main dealer and speak to their sevice department (sales will fob you off with bs to try and sell you a motor.)
