    No, get a mid 90's Ferrari 355. They're becoming surprisingly affordable these days! :)

    Or what about an early nineties DA6 Integra twincam vtec? They move like bejaysus, are cheap to buy and cheap to fix in the rare event that something does go wrong. And definitely don't suffer from any "form over function" malarkey...

    There's even one for sale on adverts.ie... ;-)
    I'd drive an early 90's B16 Integra over a new Golf any day.
    I genuinely don't understand the appeal of spending 10x the money on something like the Golf GT. I suspect a big part of it is numberplateism.

    I read the ad btw Jhmeg, it sounds like you've looked after it.

    I always thought Red D & I Golfs were a cushy car that tries to be a semi-racing. What was it some one said during a review "An Armchair with a Turbo" I would be inclined to agee.

    Oh and if you touch a Ford... I will dis-own you Dre.

    Fortunately it happens. Then we buy them second had for a fraction of the price. I'm glad other people are taking the hit for me! ;)

    Yeah, the first time I drove it I realized it was a bit special, so it's got as much attention as I could give it. Best handling car I've ever owned, very predictable on the limit. Communicates clearly through the steering and tyres. And the howl from the (stock) induction system at 5,000+ RPM! (the exhaust (stock) is virtually silent)
    But I just don't have the time to devote to it any more... :(
