Corrado vr6.
Mk2 golf chassis (very capable) with 2.9 litres of 197bhp front wheel drive action.
great looks reliability and build quality and a spoiler that lifts electronically.
Great tunability too.
No decision as far as I am concerned!

Adam, they're 190 bhp as my mate keeps telling me, That would be my choice but I have yet to see 1 under 7k let alone 6.
My Choices
Nissan GTI-R
old shaped skyline (2WD)
Vento/Golf VR6
Clio Williams
Cossie (probably shagged if less than 6k)
M3 old Shape
At the end of day what does he want the car for. My mum didn't buy a metro for performance and I didn't buy my scoob for economy.
Cheers

My vote goes for a Honda CRX VTEC coupe. (late model J plate?) Probably about 4-5K these days.
Fantastic handling little car, low slung and a bit individual. Good size boot and takes a roofrack an 'all.
Still wish I'd never sold mine.....

If he wants cheapish, stylish, quickish and good handling and a bit of practicality what about and NA Porsche 944? The 2.5 or the 2.7 can be had for bugger all money, dead reliable if maitained properly, fairly quick but not mind warping and you can get a mountain bike in the back. Rear seats are crap though.
"Cars and Car Conversions" had a buying guide this month also check out "911 and Porsche World" (web site is at

Fiat Strada Abarth 130TC. Upgrade standard Solex carbs to twin 45s, decent head job and easy 155-160bhp and this would really fly and sound great. Great drivers car , apart from slightly weedy brakes. Plenty of change from 6K for spares and insurance.

How about a 106 Rallye? The older 1.3 type. Fan-diddly. Spend what's left over on a really good pair of ear plugs. Nothing else as good for controlled slip-sliding about, I recon.
That's 'controlled' slip-sliding rather than the more scary type.

Lancia Delta HF turbo - if you can find one that's still in one piece, tho the F-reg one I sold in 94 is still going strong.
Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf/146 Ti.
