944/924 is well built, big enough for the mrs, sprog and buggy.

Also turns into a track car smile

I dont plan on going anywhere in my fun car with the bird and the baby. The plan is to buy something which can fit me + baby or mtb in.

The Puma will do that, but I've spotted a 944 that will do the job equally wel.

Why not just use the S4?

The amount you are going to spend on buying and running another car makes no sense.
To really have fun in the S4 you've got to be going some. It doesn't exactly feel nimble in bends as its quite heavy. With all the power and grip you find yourself going through bends quite slow then just blasting to the next bend. I'm trying to get something which can be fun going slower.

I had a Renault 5 Turbo like yours 18 years ago - mine was black. It was great fun from what I can remember. I'd love another but I fear all the ones for sale now are rotten.
Fair dos, I have driven the RS4 so can relate to what you are saying. A handful of clean Renault 5 GT Turbos still exist but they start at around £6,000 upwards for a good one now, £9,000 gets a really nice one, but yes at £2,000 they are all rusting. As has been said, a 205 GTi would be a better bet at £2,000 as more were made/sold. I have one of these too!
