Unfortunatly, BHP always comes at the price of larger fuel bills and higher insurance

TBH I dont know why you sold the 106, your gonna be pretty pushed finding something that feels a lot faster.

....as long as you dont end up settling for something like an IS200

stuy im not all THAT fussed on speed to be honestjust something with 'presence' i want, like your old 200 had.

went to buy a 325 yesterday in london, X reg, 40k, FBMWSH, 2 owners leather int looked mint. i got there and it wasnt the nicest of areas and the guy turns up and on the V5 his address is in bristol (warnig bells already) look over the car but then notice that the door looks a diff kinda silver. ask about it but declares all knowledge of any bumps. overspray on door handle and like a white powder coming off inside the door on the welds. look at the bonnet and 1 grill was slightly loose abd one half of it looked like it hadnt been sprayed properly it was like speckly and there was a run on the front (sure BMW wouldnt of let it go like that) so a 10hour round trip for sweet FA !!!

Surely there are more than enough 325s about without travelling out of merseyside/cheshire

you find a decent one for under 10k mate

Type R? Or any other vtec'd Honda? Civic VTi's/SIR's are awesome cars.

Liked the sound of the Leon Cupra, they're really nice.

thought about a type R mate but they're nothin special really although they are nice but not exceptionally quick either

and no torque, steer clear of the TEC. Fookin bag o pish

You have alot of opinions for an Escort owner.

Don't suppose VTEC would be the most reliable engine and the biggest engine manufacturer in the world if the were a "bag o pish"

It is a case of, you either like them or you don't

Don't personally see whats wrong with the Civic Type R's Scoop???...

0-60 in 6.4 seconds and as AX has already pointed out, the most reliable engine in the world in the lil VTEC.

Id like to see Ford build as reliable an engine... Oh and the Ford Focus ST is slower then the Type R with a 0-60 of 6.53 seconds.

I still think Gary will end up getting a Beemer though!

scoop i like fords but you have to hold your hands up and say "honda make better engines than ford" come on say it.

OK having been chastised by u lot i will state

In MY opinon VTEC engines arent good due to their severe lack of torque,yes theyre VERY reliable and powerful,but with the lack of torque the engine needs to be revved high to get some speed.Just MY opinion, and my opinion of these high revving hondas is "bags o pish"

0-60 aint everything id love to see the Type R beat the ST in a 5th gear roll on from 70!

my 1.6 i-VTEC is 108 bhp and 111 l/bs, personally i'd say that's not a bad ratio?
