Default Which Car?....

Got too many cars, gonna have to get rid of some.

thing is, im gonna start maybe doin some track days, so gonna keep a car for that and possibly occasionally running about in.

What should i keep for the track, oh and reasons why i should keep your particular choice

If you have the two cars above, personally, I'd sell them both and get something more suitable.

I'm pretty sure the accord type-R is quite a good platform for track days and there is quite a lot of kit available to mod them for track use.
having said that i'm sure the corsa would be more fun so its hard to choose.

The Type-R for me. Screaming VTEC and I love saloons racing round a track. The Corsa you can use as a skip.

2 Of my friends have ATR's, and they are fucking terrible. Old hat now, handle alright ish, but very hard to make them move anywhere, and all they do is make more noise when it comes on vtec.

Flog them both, buy yourself a cheap clio williams and stick a set of throttle bodies on it, job jobbed

For the track, i'd rather have the Corsa 2.0 but would still sell both and buy something better for the track. M3 in your budget?

Already got the saff, but i dont think they are reliable enough......id maybe have a rs turbo or 2.0 mk3 fiesta, but for the money the wee corsa is better per Ł/bhp

Im only playin with the idea, and really have too many cars, maybe sell both and get an m3 would be an idea.....

I'd go with the latter - sell them both and get an M3.... As long as you always have a ford in ur collection, nowt else matters!

the atr is a good fun car thoigh, 209 bhp lsd, im am sure with a bit of interior stripping etc is could have a lot of potential. go on be different, you know you want to

tough choice... Accord for me.

just because I don't know who built corsa and how well.

Accord was built by a jap robot... they know what they are doing!
