You want bang for your buck?

Try this V8.....and MG parts are plentyHere

Yes good one. Forgot that Rover V8s are going for a song.

A Saab is just an expensive way to own a Vectra.

Every respectable pimp has a Maserati. Don't settle for less.

Would I need two of them? I thought they fell to bits.

Rewriting the rulebook

Sometimes, rules are meant to be broken. And with a powerful 260ps 2.3 litre direct injection spark ignition (DISI), turbo-charged engine, the Mazda6 MPS is our most powerful and versatile saloon yet.

The Mazda6 MPS has a peak torque of 380Nm at 3,000rpm and delivers easily accessible and exhilarating acceleration across a broad speed range. Crucially, it delivers torque that's easy to control - even in the low to mid-range. Just one of many features you'll find truly exhilarating in a car that goes
from 0 - 62 mph in just 6.6 seconds.

Almost 100% concur with the exception that, no matter how good the Skodas are these days, they are still a Skoda.

My suggestion is, go for a Saab. Plenty of different options (sport through to practicality). Love 'em to death.

Agree with the Saab comment.

93 1.9TID Vector Sport model. Looks good, 600+ miles to the tank, 150 Bhp for when you want make 3 series BMW drivers cry. Plenty of room and comfortable to drive as well. I'm 6'3", do 100+ miles a day most days in one and never end up feeling cramped or uncomfortable.

It's a shame people have that attitude to Skoda. Before the war Skoda was a premium brand, obviously ruined under communism.
Basically it's a VW or Audi under the skin.
Yes Saabs are cool too.

Most hothatches have 200+ bhp these days

Hardly! Owned both - no comparison...apart from they both have 4 wheels, one in each corner. And what would a prawn know anyway...?

[Numptycorner]

They both share the same chasis and engines

I am not sure that a Saab or a Skoda is good for my go getting yet professional image. A Ferrari or a Porsche (not that I can afford either) would antagonise my contractors
