Thinking of buying one of these vehicles. Can anyone tell me what to look out for. I am looking at spending between £4000 & £5000.

Also are they a favourite amongst thieves?

All comments appreciated.

I ran one of these for 6 months. Has to be one of the best Hot Hatches ever (grown up 205 Gti 1.9).
Common problems are :
Steering rack hydraulic arm leaking.(DIY £80)
Wishbones bushes wear out - tyres wear uneven and gives a wandering feeling when braking (very cheap and quick to fix).
1st and 2nd gear a bit notchy when cold but fine once warmed up.
Engine does sound noisey when cold but should clear once warmed up.
Had to replace throttle cable on mine due to tight kink in engine bay (£26 DIY)
Make sure you get a late 1997 model with front face lift and interior changes. CD became standard in 1998.
Superb car, sounds like a rally car when taken over 5000RPM ,truely addictive performance which you can use.
Highly recommended !
