I wrote a thread re possible getting a CTR or a cooper S. The Cooper has been discounted completely. I still like the CTR but am worried about residuals and the old school image once the new model comes out.

I have now driven the ST2 and the VXR: here are the specs

ST2 bright orange!(likely to get attention wether i want it or not)

You can get the Ford ASBO for considerably less than

 

Ford - prefer the styling, and I think it will hold its value better. Half-decent "Fast Fords" seem to become modern classics - Vauxhalls generally don't.

 

 

If you're worried about residuals I wouldn't get either of those to be honest. If I had to choose I'd get the Ford but wouldn't pay 19k for one.

What about an Integra? Cheaper than either of those and much nicer to own IMHO, more of an enthusiasts car than a chav-mobile.

Neither, chav cars for chav people.

 

I meant a new model CTR if you can wait.

A Teg would be an excellent buy

 

Says the owner of an Evo!

 

What about and a new shape Golf GTI, or a new R32...or even a Audi A3 2.0 T-FSI S-line?
