Road / Track Day Car
Discussion
I am after a cheapish daily runaround - 10 miles return commute daily.
I`m tempted by a 205 GTI which is track biased.
I will be doing 5-10 trackdays per year.
I`m looking at this www.pistonheads.com/sales/110408.htm
Not sure if I should wait for a proper 1.9 GTI and something even more hardcore - cage / bucket seats etc.
Any views / tips ?

Well I bought it.
First 205 GTI - feels so alive like it is on it`s tiptoes.
Not got lots of top end urge but the 1.9 engine matched with 1.6 box and lovely quickshift helps keep it in the powerband.
Having it checked over - then will get some decent tyres and probably 1.9 alloys and I`ll be ready for the track.
Great fun.

Quickshift seems really good.
Quite short but definate "snick" into gear - feels good.
To be fair I have never driven the standard which may be very good and there may not be a huge difference - I expect others here will have experience of both.
Having the car checked by AB Motorsport next week before I venture on track with it. If it`s not a total lemon then I`ll look at some further upgrades.
Cheers
