I really like the Lupo GTI's great looking, fun car.

Stretch to a Clio Sport 172/182 if you can! No quicker hatch than them!

I dont think you would need to mod the exterior at all!

Slightly bigger rims, lowered and a few subtle engine mods is all you need.

so that 7 secs 0-60 is wrong? im only going by what it says in the back of total vaux. not sure i like the lupo. its a bit gay looking. polo is an option, have always liked them. i really like the c sri 1.8 but is it really that much slower than the figures say? anyone on here own one?

I was in the exact situation as you and went for the clio 172. Go for a test drive in a 172 then you will see why.
In 6 months time the 182 maybe in your sort of price range.
