Golf GTTDI mk4 Anniversary 150-
Same as Ibiza bhp wise, just more refined,Limited, just older than the rest, and golfs are like focuses, everywhere!!

Mondeo st tdci - big comfy, cheaper, not much beyond 230bhp max

Twingo rs white -cheap, good looking petrol- slow compared, dont know YY just real like um haha.

Fiesta St -reasonable buy price and insurance, endless tuning and for 5k you get 300bhp with cosworth extras, meaning Big cosworth Inlet, then supercharger kit, makes 320bhp, but price of that is a Cav turbo.

or tdci Zetec S, hybrid turbo and.intercooler+injectors, only gets 130bhp,ish- NOSMOKE looks ace. Alot of tuning been on this lads just to make 130bhp from 95bhp standard, but like i say it looks cool.

Ibiza cupra tdi -Big power, reasonable insurnace and buy price, alot of tuning capability, just boring to lookat.

Fabias option, cheap insurance, one of the slower Perfomance DERVs,But need quite abit just to be Cupras BHP


Realy cant decide, whats everyones opinion on each car, they will be modified, no matter what anyome says, just sick of looking and finding new cars.

Reading through that again, doesnt make sense, but im trying to STILL decide on a car!

Would think Vectra Diesel but never realy liked them, only the occasional one, but always thought it shadows the Cav

ffs I give up.... :| I don't mean to have a go mate but why don't you stop looking at crappy bits of plastic and just get a good second hand car made of actual metal for 10 times less the cost and do what you want with it? :lol:

How about a nice v6 Cavalier quicker than most of the cars you listed and with the F20 gearbox they really come alive plus the SOUND is awesome, 0 to 60 is 7.3 and there good for 140+ MPH

Or stop messing about and get a real fast car thats cheap!

Jaguar XJR 4.0 V8 Supercharged, 97 to 03

370HP & 525NM 155mph and 0 to 60 in 5.3 secs
????

We obviously have some great people here and many of us remain active on the forums after moving to different cars. Advice on other vehicles is best sourced from places that target the vehicles you are considering. When you buy something then by all means share it with us but I have to agree with the general consensus, we are not top gear, fifth gear, fast car or any other motoring journal. You will get many different answers to each of these questions because a lot of it comes down to personal opinion.

Totally agree. Unless you're a boy racer looking to lose his licence there's no point in wanting a fast car unless it's for the track. There are too many hidden cameras & incognito police cars just waiting to give you points on your licence & bump up your insurance.
This site's for people who appreciate mk3 cavs IMO. Whether it's the performance of the era or the uniqueness of the styling & rarity.
There aren't many left, long live the cavalier :!:
