Cheers Adam, a mate of mine had one though after a headgasket change and it dropped a cylinder then ate the head, it was a expensive swop due to the heads being a swine to get hold of, he eventually got hold of one after spending the best part of £300 for the head alone.
1.8SRi would be my choice.

2.2 would be mine, bit more grunt so you dont have to thrash it everywhere.
So what's the tax bracket for a 1.8 and the 2.2? The same??
something like 230 quid for a year on a 53 plate 2.2
same as my pre banding v6 omegaand your old nova?
we had a pre banding sri and it was the usual 'big' engine rate, but it would have been cheaper in the emissions banded rate
On a good run we got 34mpg from the 1.8 sri
I've only seen ONE case of genuine 2.2 head gasket failure and that was a terribly looked after one

Or anything with some tax and test if its for a run around. Any marque will do TBH. IMO.
My Rebuild
They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
Proton Satria GTi maybe?
Seen one or two at the grand mark.
Depends if you want a bit of cheap fun or four wheels with a heater to move you about. A good MK3 Astra would be a good means of cheap transport. It's also semi easy to maintain for not alot of dollar.
focus td. argument over.
a mate of mine works for a huge leasing comp. and the one car that they never ever got trouble with was the old focus.
Me and my mate went and brought him a mk3 golf couple of months ago never missed a beat not the fastest car ever but good on petrol and reliable
