[stedaley]

Have £2015 pounds to spend as its 2015,

after a warm hatch or something of comparison to keep me company the next year or so,

been looking at a suzuki swift sport, RS 133, Fiesta St, or something that size.

Throw me some other ideas please

Clio 172/182 ?

I thought you were going to say you had been saving a £1 a year since Jesus was born and have finally decided to blow the lot!

Anyway how about this and £1235 change?

I wouldn't have though that you would get any of those for £2k.

How about a Focus ST170? Plenty well within budget which means you can get a solid example for your money.

You can get a Clio 172/182 for budget. A 182 at that price would likely need belts doing (£600 specialist job). I'd go for a mint 172, you'll love it!

A really nice 106 GTI or 306 GTI-6 would be by choices.

As mentioned, you'll struggle to find a good RS Twingo, swift sport or ST fiesta for £2k.

If you need a hatch, look at the Citroen c2 vts or gt. Ford puma is a good steer too. My money would be on a good Clio 172.

Agreed. The 106 Rallye I drove once still ranks as one of the most wonderful little cars I've ever driven, loved it.

Don't worry about the mileage or the advertised "not for the faint hearted".

Civic Type-R for me. That's a nice example actually.

[stedaley]

I've been looking at a few 172,

I also forgot I'll be trading in my current car which is worth around 1500

[stedaley]

Hence the cars I've been looking at! Can't believe I forgot to put that in!!
