Once ive heard from the insurance i'l be looking to buy a new motor
Budget will be around £6k maybe a bit more
Car history in correct order from 1st car to last car...

Corsa 1.2 LS
Corsa 1.4 SRi
Corsa 1.6 GSi
Impreza WRX Turbo
Astra G 2.0 SRi
Audi S3 quattro

At 20 years old i dont think i could top the S3 performance wise, so i know il probably be looking at a down-grade
Job change recently means il only be doing 20miles a day
dont really want to go above insurance group 16 and not too heavy on fuel
25+mpg

Any ideas?

been looking at..
Clio 182
Astra GSi turbo (bit more money i know)
Golf gttdi
Ek9 Type R

What you guys reckon??

golf will cost you the least to run, and remapped will give impressive performance

Astra gsi turbo, or sri turbo.

Sri turbo has the fact that theres hardly any about, and although its 8-9hp less than the gsi turbo it is actually the slightest bit quicker due to the sri interior.

What about a MK3 gsi astra? Get a good one for 3k, and i love them. Think they are group 16

Clio 182.

You are going to be taking a backward step in build quality with any of those cars

So you think the S3 is quicker than the scooby?

For 6K i'd get a nice rebuilt STI.

With the gsi interior being leather there is a 45kg difference between the 2 cars.

Just going by what ive read on the internet.

All down to driver i'm afraid mate.Both cars are pretty much exactly the same bar a couple of BHP on the mapping of the GSI.

You must just be a better driver
