Get a 106 over a Saxo. They aren't the boy racer's choice so much. Nice tidy GTi will get more looks than a Paxo VTS. But GTi's are still more than £3k at a guess.

Rattly? They are no worse than the Saxo and have a much nicer dash.

i got saxo VTR/VTS to be honest. with what you want, and for that price, your not gona get much of a better car. They look ok, fast for low insurance, 2door, 4 seats, and a few subtle mods wil set it off

No. It's a list of car options that meet his requirements although maybe not his taste.

u'll find that a del sol is expensive to insure because there never was a british delsol model its an import, the british version was called CRX ESi and wa sonly made to 97 but del sols can be found with 98-00 reg's.

I would be looking for a Clio Williams or Saxo VTR/VTS, I would prefer a civic 1.6 but I think your struggle to find one for £3k

Ok, what type of cars would you limit yourself to then Ants? Would you go for anything French? Would you have a BMW E36?
yep sorry si, misread it and thought it was 4k, even then youd be stuggling to find anything VAG for that
Dunno, Sian would probably pay you to have a go at her VAJ
