Mk5 Ed30 perhaps?

I found the mk6 GTI a bit disappointing - not much steering feel, slow throttle response, overly assisted brakes etc. I've not owned a Mk5, but the couple I've driven seemed better (in those regards at least) than the Mk6.

You have my sympathies with the R32. Mine was a lemon too and quickly got chopped in for an e46 M3.
Interesting, this just pushes me further away. I had a BMW 123d.

Audi S3 5 door, but I think out of range.

Getting a bit lost of it all now.

£13.9k was what I spent so circa £15k I think

I was originally looking for a 130i 58/09 but landed an 09 r32

135i coupe too small, but certainly will look at more options
