106 gti or saxo vts imo! I'm currently flying around in a gti as my daily mule and gotta say it really is a fun little car. Been extremely reliable and very fun in corners. They ain't fast by any means but are quick enough to get over takes done on b roads without brown'ing your trousers. Mine has a 4-2-1 mani, decat and a pug sport cat back exhaust. Sounds pretty nice tbh plus its raspy as hell and pops and bangs like no tomorrow on the over run makes me feel like a teen again ha.

Are you wanting a car just for driving about for the sake of it and saving money or are you wanting a car to show off to your mates in?

Focus or Astra of some kind for basicness.

I like them 106 gti but they seem really far from were I am don't really see much of them part from the quck silver one I think its called and that sounds like my golfs exhaust mine pops and bangs

The saxo vts and 106 gti are identical cars apart from body and interior styling so if you like them keep an eye out for both, imo you cant have reliable daily fun for less. I had a 172 cup before this i used to run about in and i actually prefer the gti even if it is a little slower.

Does anyone know much about the corsa c and there engines are they any good at about 115,000 miles ?

[novadave24]

I'd check for wet carpets as water gets through the bulkhead on a lot of them and the rack arms for play
