Civic for performance and handling.
Astra for tunability and looks. And exclusivity as every fuckers got a CTR.

Ok buy a shitter of an RX7 and leave the rest of the money in the bank to fix it when it breaks down. Wicked idea 
And Vibbers, yes I've told Leon but we've decided not to make a go of it.

6k would easily get a mint one - my mate payed 6k and hes had it for a year and had no problems - and for a 1.3 they can kick all your asses in your CTRs and GSi's

Yes but it's not really a 1.3 as such is it.
Ok cos your mate has had no problems doesn't mean all of a sudden it's become an ultra reliable motor. They're renowned for expensive running costs and problems.

And we're compairing new cars. Obviously old cars give more power for less cash. You can pick up a mint Cerbera for £18K which will see off every car on the road just about! It doesn't mean it's for everyone.

well it is capacity is 1300cc so id pretty much say its a 1.3 - all depends where you get them from.

Yeah but how many rival engines are rotary? Hardly usable as a comparison is it.

No shit! But it's a completely different engine design to pretty much every other car on the road, so you can hardly compare capacity. That's all I was saying. Fucks sake.
