Your views kids??

I been looking at getting something sensible, reliable and nippy for appx 2-2.5k

They look small enough to throw around and has a 139BHP 1.8 16v lump. Must be good for a bit of grunt.

I've completely fallen out with the MK4 escorts now and I realy dont want another turbo just yet (sorry rudey, PM on its way).

Well, what else can you guys think of? Apart from a VTR/S???
