325Ti Compact-any good?

[SidewaysSi]

My sister is after a cheap car and other than a Clio Cup or Pug Rallye, I think a 325TI may be an option.

I have steered clear of a "normal" E46 due to rear subframe issues which I believe the Compact does not suffer from.

So are they fun and any good? Of course, excepting their looks...!

Thanks all, much appreciated. No rusty arches and no subframe issues sounds good to me. She wants something quite punchy but sub £2.5k.

We were thinking Clio Cups but any seem to be thrashed at this level.

What the steering feel like on the BMW and will it happily power oversteer, appreciating the lack of a slip diff.
