Default What would you swap to?

I currently have an RB5 and was considering a switch to a more cost friendly motor (servicing mainly!!), I really like the scooby and would want to switch to some thing that is still quick and fun to drive. Preferably looking at around the same price as the RB5 is worth..

Any opinions ?

What about a Clio Cup, dont know prices but would say that there about same price as your RB5, pretty quick and good handling, dont know what service costs would be but probably a lot better then the scoob.

Yeah I had been looking at the, but the lack of air-con as well as what I had seen written about their reliability/bulid quality had put me off a bit..

Also been looking at Civic R's
Leon Cupra's etc, i like the size of the Scoob as well so didnt want anything really small..

Do like the Accords but i'm only 26 and thought it would be a bit 'Dads car'

Dont laugh, what about a Skoda Octavia RS, All the coppers round my neck of the woods drive these, and they dont look to bad. but if Skoda aint your thing what about a Golf Gti.
