i will have about 8k to spend all in all, not including insurance but can only get up to about group 17

looked at...

cupra r - bit lame tbh for price can be high milage
clio 182 with both cup full top spec etc - seems to be the favourite, like the trophy but want the extras lol
civic r - would only want facelift but high milage if i can get hold of facelift
rx8 - dont wanna pay for the petrol lol bit of a joke realy
mx5 - bit old and well womans car lol

any advice, help, ideas

basically i group 17 or preferably less! anything is an idea but i would like some creature comforts like the xenons cruise control climate control ilk but a doesnt HAVE to have them

anyway over to you :afro:

astra turbo is a very good car, can pick up a mint gsi with your budget, other than that id say clio 182 all the way

my brother has the astra after that.. same shape as the astra's now but its got a 2.0 litre turbo badge on the back and has more gadgets then a VXR

i had a corsa before but the service people are twats! dont get me wrong it looks quite nice but its big heavy and well not that quick, not all about bhp for me really....

leon cupra r is on the list and i like it a lot but its quite a big heavy car again

ahhh not sure hmmmm

need to keep looking lol any more ideas welcome!
