Well the time has come for me to start to put my corsa back to standard and look for something abit more me.

My Max budget is £5.5k.

Im looking for a hot hatch sized car so nothing like a mondeo etc.

Must be at least 150bhp.

Must be petrol.

Must Have air con/Cruise control/Trip computer/Allloys. (Leather interior would be a bonus)

Must be as new as possible.

Must be good on fuel and insurance.

Dont want something with moon miles

Let me know what ideas you have as im really stumped

Had a look at Seat Ibiza's love the cupra but the insurance came out around 2k is it me or does anyone else think using confused for a rough price guide may be a bad idea?

theyre not too bad. i doubt there is much difference in terms of speed in all the phase 2 cliosport range, apart from the better suspension and lighter seats in the trophy.

same old cars popping up again

you really limit yourself with car age and mileage.

you will end up with a clio or something equally midrange

what i mean is with a £5.5k budget you will either get something quite new and boring, midrange performance.

or spend £4k on an old car and get more performance, more luxury, something a bit different.

audi coupe, E36 BMW etc
