My mate wants a change of car. He's had a 205 GTI since '97 which we mi16'd in 2002 and has decided its time to change. Its come down to the above (CTR or '6).

I love the '6 so am swaying him that way and tbf have very little experince of the CTR (other than a quick nip (no pun intended LOL ) up the road in one

Please air you thoughts... Dunno

I like the unpredictability of a French car myself. Will it start, won't it start? Mmm there's a new noise...

Jap stuff is a little 'German' for me. Ah a CTR, its just like a Golf...LOL

Redrallye, no disrespect mate!Thumbs up

If I were going back to a hot hatch I'd likely go for a CTR over a 6. 6 was a good car in it's day - but that day has goneSad

None taken Thumbs up

It was just the right choice for me given my needs. Just a weekend toy so wanted something that I know won't break when I want to use it otherwise it would be a right pain in the arse!

    I suppose, but his 205 still holds its own and has never broken down in over 10 years (rare I know). Its just a little bit 'uncomfortable' now my mate is heading for the Sunday driver speed limit...
