im in a similar situation to you, was gonna do the exact same thing, am also 19, but decided to keep my xr2 and put money into that. i paid £830 tpft last year for it, will have a years ncb come october so should be cheaper next year to insure. will quicker than any sub 300bhp cossie when its out the garage, and cost a fraction to run/own.
I know how it is to run thirsty cars matey... my first was a 1.6... economical... now i have a 2.5 V6... i'm lucky to get 20mph taking it easy!
I know for a fact that a cosworth can do that sort of mpg when driven carefully..
