Fun and good on fuel. Those two words can't really Co-exist haha

You could pick up a 205 for that kind of money, probably not a 1.9 gti, but certainly a decent 1.6 or another model like an xs or something

All 205 no matter what engine are fun to drive and most of them are eligible for classic insurance now :-D

You can also pick up a pretty nicely specced Saxo vts for less than £800, if the pedals annoy you, just bend them into a better position ;-)

To be honest, if you want fun and good on fuel, a tuned DT or mapped HDI is what you want...

I followed one to work once, it bottomed out when the front wheel went in a pothole haha

323i aren't bad with a little work done to them, they were deliberately restricted to 170hp and are near enough identical to the 325, swap the inlet mani and you'll see near enough 25+hp

Xsara vts are very under rated and under valued,should be able to pick up a nice one for £800

RE: Something fun and interesting for £800> - THE_Liam - 01-04-2014

Basically an ugly '6 with a 5-speed box.

So you want something fun and interesting but cant afford to insure anything fun and interesting (the impreza is only a few groups up on the GTi6/rallye on the old system)
