If the 180s were at the price they are at now 4.5 years ago I would of had one. I paid 3k for my 138 and it had 48,000 on the clock 1 owner From new,you can get a decent 180 for around 2k nower days.

Plenty of anti 180 threads on this forum, most from people that have never actually had one.

This makes sense.
I guess it depends on how much cash you want to throw at it.
I 180 is a very good all round car out of the box and IMO the normal GTi needs work.

I do love the GTi180 interior, but when you look at the true power figures, thats where it's fall down is, when you consider it's competition.
Fiesta ST - 150bhp (the old one, because the new version is only 120 lol)
Clio 172/182 - 172-182
Corsa VXR - 189-202
Admittedly these are "quoted" figures, as well all know numbers on paper are nothing like actual "on the road numbers e.g. a GTi180 doesn't have 180bhp.
Having said that, power aside, I still would never buy an ST, the suspension is just too stiff
IMO, it comes to down personal preference, yeah I love my 206, especially now it's running 130bhp, but is the power worth the "french-ness" of the car e.g. shoddy wiring lol

the 172 & 182 etc make less power too  Also there's only the 172's and s**t 182's that are in the same price range as the 180's.
The gearing in the 180 also makes it a faster car than the ST despite only around 10bhp difference.
Personally in the price range I think its the best all round car you can buy.

Is it only a GTi 180 you're looking at? or would you look at other cars in general? there's a lot out there, that in my opinion is better (not slating a 180 I always wanted one when I had the GTi) but having moved away from Pug to a VAG car for less money than you could get a 180 and in pretty much perfect condition and with lowish mileage for age, I wouldn't ever look back.

The ST is extremely overpriced considering it's power output, and like I said, I wouldn't ever buy an ST anyways.
I would rather have a 180 regardless of the power output, compared to any of the others I listed.
But TBH, I'd rather have a CRX or NSX than a 206 lol. retro ftw!
