206 GTi, for £870. Full service history and MOT history looks sound. Looks tidy for the mileage as well.

Buy, hoon around in until it breaks. Keep seats, bin the rest.

That would be an expensive mile.

That's why you test drive a car you're interested in buying. A better way of sorting the wheat from the chaff than assumption. But I wouldn't travel far to test drive this one!

sloppy gearbox, not much faster than the 140 version, very rough ride but resides that not bad cars.

(based on a 140 gti I bought for my mum, I paid £400)

Edited by The Spruce goose on Friday 7th October 02:10

You may be right - the 180 is only 0.5 sec quicker to 60 according to Parkers.

I had a nearly new GTI 180, back in the day. Always felt pretty quick don't think those figures do it justice. Anyway, think I would pass on this one, must be something not right punting it on this quickly.

No thanks, that Renault has no redeeming features whatsoever.

Not going to set the world alight, but it's quite a funky little car.

Yup, just sitting here thinking "if that's the 'best' of the bargain basement, we might as well end it all now...."

I drove a 16v version a few times when I was 18. Felt so rapid!

What could possibly go wrong.

I'd prefer the 16VT.

Mazda's ostensibly workaday models have sometimes been quite interesting. Here's a 323 (sadly post pop-up headlight) with their dinky 2 litre V6 under the hood. Looks nice, and still reasonably contemporary from the outside. I doubt your £700 will do much better.

Just to add, is this the cheapest way into frameless-windowed doors? A pointless touch of class worth the price alone.

Great spot - I haven't seen one for years on the road.

I'd buy that for a winter hack if it was closer (2.5hrs away)

Use it in the winter?

That's brave, when you're talking about a 1990s Mazda
