TBH if that wasnt so far from me, id have a punt.

Visa Gti's are properly under rated. Ive had a 115ch and a 105 and they are just so much better tha the equivalent 205 gti.

In what way? Had four 205s but never driven the Visa so would be interested to know the difference in feel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it just less weight and proper rear suspension? The front end is much the same...

front end was the same yes.

the rear end make them a lot more nippy than a 205, i find the visa to turn in sharper and hold its line better when really pushed compared to the 205's torsion bar rear.

Also as said above, the car is lighter, this makes it feel peppier.

Seriously if these had been same price and as available as 205's at the time they would have out sold them by miles. Bigger inside too :)
