im guessing the writer of the article owns a coupé and doesnt want to attract all sorts by saying look at what you can buy with 1000£

I don't think you will get a 3 litre GTV for banger money either, unless it's a dog.

I'm not that keen on the gtv usually but the blue one in the photo is ! Would always have the old corrado vr6 over the new scirocco....

Look here

What a crap write up:

Watch out for: Absolutely everything, cheeky git!

Dated styling? It looks as fresh as a daisy!

not being funny bt the tw*t who wrote that doesnt exactly look like the sort of person i would take styling advise from . . .

haha, nice hair!

this guy has no life and is a Clarkson wannabee

Dated styling, hmm... So why does every other car journo worth their salf describe it as still fresh, timeless, hasn't aged, classic etc...??

Nice to know he only thought it worthy of a banger article...

Cambelt changes an issue? Not really if you bother to go to powerfiat or motormech... No wait, he's looked at the original fiat coupe articles and 9 hour fiat book time as a source of reference... Nice to know his facts are up to date...

most people who write up these articles aint got a clue, i read in the sun the other week the new focus rs is supercharged, idiot should be sacked for that.

I thought about a GTV6 before I got the LE but the back 'seat is just unusuable. I agree the later facelift ones like in the piccy are nice - even seen them for lese than £5K now
