Just buy the bloody GT and be done with it! Stop pissing around.......only you can decide,but hurry up please! Think of the cash you could've used on a GT that you will lose selling the paseo!

ive just seen this thread, so i'll give you my honest opinion mikey.

one major question is money. can you afford to run a turbo car?

i know they dont drink that much fuel, but when your used to a n/a that drinks feck all its hard seeing that needle go down everytime you boot it. trust me.

take me for instance, i wanted a V for 4 years and kept saying i would get one, but looking back on it there is no way i could have afforded to run one back when i was a student.

plus if you have any problems with it, i.e. boost leaks (as i did) it can be really frustrating if you dont know what to look for, i'd say im reasonably mechanically minded and even i was pulling my hair out trying to sort out the boost spiking problem with mine! it got to the stage of driving it off boost for two days in fear of hitting fuel cut!

so the question is if something goes wrong with it can you fix it? or can you afford to pay someone to fix it? and how screwed would you be without a car?

its all very well everyone saying on here to get one, but theyre not the ones that'll have the heart ache if somethings wrong. if something happens it'll be YOU sorting it.

im not saying this is going to happen as we all know our cars are probably some of the most reliable turbo small cars about, all im saying is you have to be prepared if something was to go wrong.

im not knocking the choice of car or anything mate, because i'd say get a gt... but i dont want to see you sell a perfectly good car to buy a gt and be screwed because the turbo's blown after ten minutes.

just my 2p.

give it some thought mate.

Rich.

to answer scutches questions....

the 4efte is as good on petrol as the paseo if driven sensibly (and mike drives like a girl ;)). ive owned a paseo, 2 glanzas and a gt. so i speak from experience.

and about fixing it if it breaks. mike. id help you, i am 4e.
