My other half has a Yaris SR (1.8, 131bhp ) at the mo, it's not the fastest thing on the road but it handles extremely well, very good fun
But I still have a soft spot for the pug 205 1.9 GTI

106 rallye will be slow (1.4 engine?) albeit seem to have a good rep ... can pick them up for £1-2k ish. Probably mega miles though due to age ...

I know a lot of people rate the rallye, but having never been in one so cant really comment.
For me I'd be back in a Mk1 Yaris in an instant! And if you want more power the 4e-fte out of a Starlet drops in pretty easy

Clio 172/182. Nippy, quick, cheap and plenty of tuning mods.

Vauxhall nova gsi with a 2ltr 16v redtop lump in, running 180 bhp. One of my fav cars to own. So so quick, mental. Striped out with roll cage. Loved it.

I have never driven a 172 or 182 but I would like to know who from someone who has driven both if they can compare handling wise to a 106 gti or rallye. I can honestly say that having driven a few, the two cars that stand out as amazing to drive are the lotus elise and the 106. Compared to these two 911's and ferrari 360's are boring.
