Jamie Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 ive had one of them luke warm 2.0 clio phase 3's - they are exactly that, luke warm didnt handle particularly well either. there still seem to be a few 1.7 puma's without papier mache rear arches on sale so i'd go for one of them under 2k personally, had a few of them now. tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan29 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Swift Sport seems like a good shout. My Puma 1.7 Thunder could be for sale - rear arches are starting to rust admittedly, and it needs a few other minor bits doing, but would be about £1000 and has a year's MoT. tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember someone on here having a re DSG one and saying it was amazingly quick off the lights. bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally wanted something that was quite tidy and needing no work but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxleHorsepower Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 What about a Saxo? They aren't as much as a 106 but essentially the same car. You may get lucky and get a VTS but more realistically you should get a decent VTR for that money. If budget allows get a phase 1 and the value will only appreciate. Not the fastest out there but good fun. I picked my phase 2 up for a shade over £200 when you could. Bamboocarman and tom13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not tidy enough for what you want. The driver's side is going where there was a previous repair, and the passenger side is just starting to show signs of going in the same place: https://www.flickr.com/photos/186130016@N07/50955606348/in/dateposted-public/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraser.innes.3 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I got my daughter a 2011 Clio a couple of years ago. 1.2 with turbo. It's an absolute laugh around the lanes. She keeps up with my 239bhp 1series msport, until I get to a straight bitSent from my EML-L29 using Tapatalk tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faker Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 T-Sport Yaris is a good shout. But what about the second generation Yaris SR? I’ve an 1800 VVTi SR and it’s a hoot. Few nice ones on eBay around your budget. Dabooka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very capable little car. It also seemed well screwed together and drove rather well. I'd actually consider one as a modern. Looks smart too. Edit Actually it was the later Mk4 (Mk5?) Clio, the one for sale still. But still, always had a soft spot for Clios. They're great cars, any generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
