mk2's never come with a 5 door version for kids :(


i paid 595 (advertised at 645) for my Si, had all the extra's minus the electric mirrors, full service history, a 1.6 and a 3 door, with almost 20k less miles than the ebay one, its a big rip off imo

and that was almost 2 years ago

MK2 Jamie :Get a MK2 over a MK3.




Insurance is cheaper too, I'd be after a 1.4 like yours or an xr2 though

They're harder to get in good nick :/

Plenty of XR2s about...you'll struggle to find a 1.4/1.3 CVH MK2 though. They don't come up for sale very often. The main reason I said MK2 over a MK3 is because MK2s are going up in price now.

I chose a MK2 over a ZS. I hated my ZS with a passion. I only had it for 4 months before I sold it :lol:

My mk2 1.1 costs under £180 to insure fully comp for the year on a classic policy through Gary at Need2Insure. Unlimited mileage and declared mods are alloys and lowered suspension
