Astra GTE 16v, cheap to buy, cheap to run, and cheap to maintain. Much more fun than any of the above. Your not going to get a 'fun' ford for under a grand that comes anywhere near a GTE 16v, infact even the 8v's are good fun.
Ok the clio 16v's are pretty good fun but only last about 10 minutes if you give them a bit of stick.
I personally dont see XR2's as 'fun', they dont dont have the power. On track then maybe, but not as a fun road car in my opinion.
What about a nova gte or gsi?

Its the non gte/gsi brakes that are not worth a shit. As far as performance, they would both wipe the floor with an XR2 in every area. Ive had a few of each and they just dont compare at all in my opinion.

you'll probably never find one for under a grand but a Polo G40 is quite a little stormer.
an FRST is probably going to be pants for that sort of money.
but the VR6 sounds good.
Or maybe old school 325i BMW
