Some friends are running one of each of these classic 80's turbohatches, to see which is most expensive to run, or has most problems !!We are putting loads of info and accounts on the website at so if anyone has any advice or suggestions,please drop by and put an entry in our guestbook !Cheers.Dan and John.

I'd advise them to look at a calendar and double check whether or not the Punto was ever around in the 80s :-)Peter

Which is best Renault 5 GT Turbo, Escort RS Turbo, Fiat Punto GT Turbo ?

Er, I fail to see how it would be a "Turbo Money Pit" :)

When did the 1.4 K-series come out? That was 104bhp, and normally aspirated. Anyone know if it was just the MPI version that had 104bhp?

Why bother with the turbo money pit though? They're money pits... :D

Que ??

The website says - "car had no tax, so put 12 months ticket on it."

Didn't mention anything about the MOT - so I assume the bulbs were pinched after its MOT was done some time ago !

Thanks for dropping by the site though !
