Might be "two" many doors for Campbell?

I looked at those - cracking value for money - but couldn't quite convince myself that a Peugeot was a good idea, and apparently the infotainment system is slower than a week in jail. I still have an image of them sitting at the side of the motorway awaiting a yellow van....

Apparently a very nice drive though.

Seems you’ve binned the idea off now Cambell but my money would be on a Honda any day. I had 2 DC2 Integra Type R’s and they were brilliant fun cars to drive. May yet tick the DC5 box as well as also always wanted one and prices have levelled/starting to climb again.
My favourite that I had though was my FD2 (4 door import saloon) civic Type R. Was like an Integra with 4 doors. I used to track it at knockhill before I got my first V6 so you may have seen it at an SIDC event. These are still fetching around £13-18k though and have levelled out, unless you go for the Mugen RR version which is a steal at £45k :?

I’m off to check the classifieds.... :lol:

Apologies for blatant plug - but on an appropriate thread to be fair.....

There's a lovely sub £10k hot hatch in the classifieds now :D

Cheers

Yep had to abandon the project for now. But agree on FD2. DC5 on my bucket list too but they are getting old...

I am liking the new 2020 CLA AMG 35 8)

New interior, 0-60 4.9 , 35k on carwow seems very reasonable for an AMG ... with my limited knowledge of mercs.

3 rear seats not idea for my kids though :|

Just be careful if you lease/PCP from Mercedes, have heard horror stories that they sting people badly as they want to look showroom condition when returned :evil:

Rather late to the party with this, but how about the Abarth 595?

Never driven one, so can’t comment on that rather vital factor :lol: , but like the looks personally..... and they make a nice noise :D

Also, guess they’re more of a “super mini” than “hot hatch”, so not sure of rear seat space?

I’d forgotten all about this

Time has moved on and the window has passed methinks.

Without a thought for any ramifications, I recon it’s close between Fiesta ST and Golf GTI

Integra Type R has popped up again too. Might struggle for £10k though
