Just curious....

[mavvmad]

as weather or not there is another make of car that will match a GTE for performance for the price?

Ive had a look around out of curiousity (not that im thinking of leaving Vauxhalls) but couldnt see anything that would be on par using a max price of 1500 quid.

Anyone else know different?

I think a v6 is the only thing that'll come close.

The cav turbo would be cool but for that price I'm guessing it'll be a bit funked!

v6's are underrated in the car world

get to it!

Couple of the old BMWs must be worth a look, dunno about being on par with performance but RWD and alot of comforts.

Not sure I would agree with that. I have beaten 325i's in a GTE before.

The white Suzuki Starlet, that one was pretty rapid (for a shopping trolley)

Renault 16 16v is only 130 bhp so no where near a GTE

[Nick Miles]

Renault 19 16v's are said to do 0-60 in 7.7 seconds with a top speed of 128 ish with 137 bhp, but are built like buiscuit tins and are easily dented.

Only thing is, they go for peanuts

Also renault 19 engine arent the strongest and like its cousin, the Renault 5 they are very prone to going BANG!!

Nice lookin cars though you gotta give them that.
