Its awesome mate....although I can't compare it to a 205 Gti as I have never been in one

Love these 106's as well how much did you give for that

This for me, never found anything in the same category I liked better.

Benn 304R

mine would have to be either the mk1 astra gte or a lotus sunbeam.

Putting costs aside I would like any of the following for blasting round the road rallies:

106 GTi/Rallye
Mk1/Mk2 Golf GTi
Clio 182 trophy
205 GTi

Then to a slightly larger hatch extent you have:
Focus RS
Escort RS Turbo
Megane Trophy
Escort Cosworth

But I don't think they fall into the same category really!!

i always loved the 1300 supersport fiesta when i was a lad!

Lee Reynolds

Mk3 escorts ie RST, RS1600i and XR3...not the 1700T tho Ugly bastard thing

_DAN_

I've always liked the RS2000 MK5 for some bizaree reason.

_DAN_

Weren't it just?

Mr Orange

Draw with this an the series 1 rst,
6.6 to 60mph an rear wheel drive, an out before the mk1 gti,
So it may have started the hot hatch idea,

but that black gt turbo 2 with all the spots looks mean as!!

It's Czech Mate

Why the With a BDT capable of 600bhp with the right turbo ( see rs200evo ) and tested in rear wheel drive format at 1 sec per km faster than the audi quattro of the time on dry gravel and tarmac and over 6 seconds per km faster than the just retired works RS1800's - of which a private on still won the world champs in 1981 anyway ) its hardly to be mocked

If they had had the budget to finish the project and fully develop the 4wd version that was fully drawn and mocked up then the Audi Quattro wouldnt be anywhere near the legend it is now

rsvan

there must only be about 5 of them left, my mate had one about 10 years ago and there was only seven then....... he wrote his off sadly

noticed the 205 has a few votes, i just bought one for winter,

handles like a dream, best handling car ive had by far

Rhys

These are awsome! Way more than 5 left!!

Any idea how much they go for now? Proper little motors though

Keith B

wow - havent seen a Mk1 Astra GTE in ages - that brought back some memories. The Mk1 and MkII SRi's went pretty well too.

OldSkoolRS

saxo vtr.................. only joking


205 gti 1.9 in red with black half leather
Closely followed by mk1 & 2 golfs,
R5 GTT,
unos,
series 1s
Mk1 astra gte,
Mk1 XR2
I could go on for ages. Unfortunately I was too young at the time to really appreciate the scene (other than to stare at my neighbours 1990 205 when I was 9!) and when I was old enough to drive the insurance was too expensive!

collierm

Sure thats the same paint job Lotus used when then spunked 100K into a Lada a few years ago??? It has pedigree then if Lotus copy it

I'd have to say pretty much any hot hatch that came out in the 80's

jonboy

Correct!!!!!!!

Owned one for a couple of years back in the early 90's, handling was so much better than the 205, really superb. Only got rid because it was a bit "fragile" to say the least.

although a tiny bit newer than whats previously been mentioned, i had a fiesta xr2i for a little while and i felt that was a superb little all rounder, handling, acceleration, top end, whether it be flying down the a12, or hacking round the back country lanes it always suprised u and put a little smile on ya face at how well it coped at times

I loved my astra GTE 16v mk2, absolutly indestructable, even i didn't manage to break it , fast as fuck as well, used to rev like a motorbike , uno turbos are ace, as are R5 GTT's, don't know if escort cossies count as hot hatches but after driving home tonight at 3am on empty roads, I would say I love my T25 escos most of all

How many of you who've said the 205 GTi to be your favourite have also owned/had a go in a Clio Williams?? I've had both, a Williams and a 1.9 GTi and the Williams wins hands down for me on both performance and handling!!

Modern day 205 IMO [/img]

Would have to be a R5GTT

First turbo car I drove, and I love the look...

I will get one one day!

Fast Guy

Was it the 309 that came with the Mi16 in Europe? (while we got the 8V)


I have to go with the Maestro turbo as it was so under rated (except by joy riders ) 0-60 in 6.9ish standard from a 150bhp FWD



That and/or the Gtir.

Keith B

OMFG! Havent seen a Maestro Turbo in ages!!!

At least it was better than the Montego Turbo ! Bodyfiller anyone?!

woodz77

have to be a MK3 XR3 or XR3I . i know they aint the quickest or best looking (compared to a S1 or 1600i) but ive had 5 or 6 and back when i was young i used to love them and think i as the bollox in them

pee vee

my 3 lol

1: The Escort RS Cosworth - you might of heard of them?
2: 205 Gti
3: 172 cup

Fast Guy

Oi! That was my last car (no body filler on that one, just abit of rust )

Keith B

My mate had a 1.6 Vanden Plas Maestro. It went alright but the thing was posessed or something - if you indicated left when you had the headlights on the passenger window would go down. The fuel computer would count the amount of fuel left in the tank up and not down (!!!!!!!) and it looked like the tin worm had waged armageddon on it! Digital dash was pretty mad and the talking computer was sooooo irritating!

wingy

For me has to be the Mk1 Clio 172 i had one and it went and handled amazingly well, went round rondabouts on three wheels. Wouldn't mind a S1 106 Rallye either they're ment to be the bollocks.
