Thanks everyone for replying so far. You are getting me interested. My MK2 Golf is so heavily modified and slow that when we looked at the insurance, I would only be paying £200 more for the VR6 than an 1.8 Driver!
As I'm single and young, and I'm told you only live once, I feel its the right time for a sports car. Even so the running costs do scare me a bit, but at least I should have a bit of fun wiping the smug grins of some of the people who are currently zooming past me.
I have been warned of there being a lot of overpriced rubbish out there (Apologies for using this term with the corrado) but then that's the case with most sports cars.
Haven't found one worth viewing yet but hope to soon.
Thanks again for your advice
