Any!  I know I have a 205, but I'd go for the XR2! Can't remember the last time I saw one. |

Shows xr2's weren't bad cars are the time and decent value...pity they've all rotted away...
205's didn't rot much but got wrapped round trees instead..;-)

I was only a wee snip of a thing back then so i wasnt aware of the costs but how comes the tax cost more on the metro than it id on the Xr2?

I've been scanning of loads this afternoon, Escort RS Turbo S1, Bluebird Turbo, Supra etc, If anyone's got any requests I'll posted some more tests up if no-one minds.

I'd love a Metro Turbo again, my other half had one a long time ago. But the road test doesn't even come close to how bad it could be. The handling on back roads was terrifying. The hydragas could not do enough damping, and it only had telescopics on the front, so big time bouncing of the back was on the cards. Also, the tyres had tiny sidewalls (165/60/13) so any potholes caused instant punctures. I'd still love another one though.

Ohhh, used to have a Metro turbo a good 15 years or so ago, reg M67 MAN (MG T MAN). Bought it off a mate for £150 originally to stick the engine in a Mini GT shell I had but ended up selling it for £250. Wish I'd done the conversion in the end, can't for the sake of me remember who I sold it too either.

As a (multiple) 205 GTI owner I'd take the Ford even though I know the Peugeot is better. People are funny creatures.

"The 205 is one of those rare cars that really excites the enthusiasts and will probably set the standard in the class for several years" Spot on!  |

All three cars are awsome. but personally I would go for the metro,1 because I'm an A-series nut, 2 I think the metro has the most carachter.
