I'm surprised no one has suggested one of these.... very quick as standard, massive tuning potential, practical space and handles nicely!!!

That's cheap. Good shout
Obviously your choice wood, but I'd go for the type r over a 325.
Only ****ers drive beemers don't they Steve haha
There is a few of us down here that cover quite an area between us with homes and work, if you spot something you like then it might be worth posting it up on here and if one of us are close enough maybe someone could give it a once over to potentially save you a wasted journey.... I'd be happy to should I be in the vicinity!
For the money, your silly not to consider the EP3 Type R, regardless of hear say. Look at the boot space, reliability, build qty, spare parts flooded on eBay etc, unbelievable tuning capabilities, I mean, it's not like you can trash a vtec engine if its made to be red line and great on MPG to even if you want to drive like a hooligan.
But for that money and that miles im sure its had its red line time with any owner..
Well the mrs has finaaly come to her senses and decided shes not going back to work yet and instead going to become a full time house mum so the bmw is out the question. So now its time to look at 1.0 lol but that now frees up cash to go adaptronic on the 5 an leaves money for a well deserved and over timed holiday for us and the kids..
So any ideas on small fun cars? Cheap tax ect?
back to 172 imo, get one for a grand and they're great fun. just tax and insurance that stings a little bit. but you cant have everything for nothing
No, definitely this:

Proper fun, proper cheap.
Odd so the 1.3 is 100bhp and the 106 is 103 bhp could be quite fun really
Apparently the 1.3 is just as good if not better than the 1.6.
Ok so a type r on 82000 looks clean and a guy I know 2k sound ok? He's got it up for 2.5k 02reg
a/c model you mean air con? Not asked dose this matter?
What is the insurance and tax like on the Type R though?
More desirable and sell for more, red always sell for less and hard to sell colour with these cars. Mileage sounds low for an 02. Get the log book ref number (or ref number off the last MOT it's got.) and do an online MOT history check, will show up the mileage for the last five or so MOT's, makes it easier to spot clocking plus can see what it's failed or been advisory on each time over the last few years so good indication of how it's been looked after or if same problems persist aswell as heads up where to check first when giving it a look over.
Here my old one from back in 07.
Great advise thanks my cousin will look it over he's big on his jap stuff and that's the same model and color just has black wheels and a full stainless he still has the original exhuast.. 8 owners since new though. New tyres and only done 1028 miles in two years as he works away a lot. A couple of scratches but nothing massive and the engine bay is dusty but dry with no nasty noises.. Going to see it over the weekend I know a lot don't like them but iv heard the typical good and bad stories about every car iv looked at really. Thanks for the advise I will take it all in..
I have driven one of these in anger on many occasions, you won't be disappointed that's for sure, handle sublime, built well and jokes aside hitting that v-tec in every gear is awesome.

Wow great info just got another £300 of the asking price from this he hadn't had the advisories done for two years top man I owe you a beers.. Never used this before
Type r has my vote.I loved mine.I sold my 172 with only 600 miles on it to buy one.I bounced mine off the rev limiter all the time as you forget to change gear in these things.I may even buy another myself soon.
You haven't told us anything about how it is to drive Lee?
I emailed the guy with the white one in the picture lets just say he didn't exactly try and sell it so I left it. Looked nice and all that but if he's not willing to put an effort in and fill me with excitement I'm not paying and I don't think it sold either
Going to look at a 182 cup tonight frsh 80k miles and supposed tobe immaculate I hope so it's costing more than I wanted to pay but we will see
Full Fat is what you want mate, don't overpay for a cup
Looks like that Pug has been sold since.
The 182 sounds nice.
£2800 full flocked dash with carbon inserts new brakes all round just two stone chips and one slight ding. Apart from that is pretty tidy It's been re mapped with pop bangs lol (that will piss the mrs off)
Not a bad motor all belts done 10000 ago it's the orangey color one lol
Young dude really is heart broken to sell it
See if this pic of the clio works

Did that not work?
Ron paid a grand less for a Full Fat..............
Can't make my mind up now need to be sensible I think car searching wrecks my head
What's people's views on fiesta st?
They aren't turbo charged but I've always liked the Lupo and Polo Gti's. Not sure they fit your bill to be honest and they are a bit cutesy but I like them
