I'm not saying it doesn't handle well for it's class you doofus

Of course it handles well for it's class, thats why they put cars in 'classes'..... It's to stop people buying VASTLY superior cars and pumping all the boys and girls in their fiestas
This is comparing the humble little XR2, which was great in it's day, with the other cars in it's price bracket

2 grand was the figure I mentioned, and go look at what else you get for your 2k.....

Alot better than a FWD fiesta you can hear rusting

Thats a bit of a daft statement Rab, the Xr2's class is obv small hot hatch and they are known as being one of the best in terms of handling, so if its the best in its class and its class is the best for handling, erm... What are you driving these days? havent seen you on xrtwo.com in a while, have you gotten posh?
