My answer to that question is neither..
For 35k - 40k you can get so many better things than either of those two pieces of scrap.
Simple, Golf if you wanna drive fast and can, Tazz if you wanna drive fast but cant.
I guess it's gonna be a Tazz then!
My budget is around R35-40K. I think I'm going to go to an auction and see what's there. I'm sure I'll be able to find something that's decent-ish ... I hope.
