The latest T25 got a bit of a caning in a recent EVO magazine article/group test.

A nice long test drive in each would have to be done I think.

i doubt it very much




Type 25 or RB320.

Depends on how much u want to spend.

the cosworth T25 with the brake upgrade and other bits is close to £60k, the RB320 with the RB320 branded seats in leather is £31,500. almost half the price.

if you got £60k for that car then surely a RS4 is a much better investment.
plus, if anything should go wrong or you need servicing done you need to go to Litchfields/powerstation - sod that!!!

I had considered the T25 but far too much money and as an everyday runner I doubt it would be very suitable.


Quick Reply: type 25 or rb320
