Hot hatch or fast saloon 8-9k

[Jonlcfc84]

Anyone got any ideas for anything around this price??

BMW 130i. You may need to be a bit more specific..

E46 M3.

My thoughts exactly. Should get a very good one for that price too. Estoril Blue, maybe Interlagos Blue or Imola Red at a push. Or Daytona Violet with cream leather but they're like Hen's Teeth.

I'd be on the hunt for an E39 M5. Bound to start increasing in value soon.

[Mouse1903]

Depends on your definition of fast

[Mouse1903]

A bit under budget but I've always liked these:

I never knew they did a hot hatch or saloon version of the e46 m3??

[MissChief]

Coupe/hatchback. Same thing almost.

Would a E9x 330i Saloon or even a 335i be in that range?

BMW can call it a "coupe" all they like but that wont change the fact it's just a two-door saloon.

[james64]

Subaru legacy 3.0 spec b or maybe a Volvo s60r

[nct001]

Clk 55 amg these make anything else mentioned look pathetic...

[xRIEx]

XJR, just to be different.

How come the budget dropped?

I really want a e46 m3 but put off by problems Like crack subframes and vanos

Thought it was quite obvious by asking about saloon or hatchback cars the OP wanted more than 2 doors. Unless I am the one that is mistaken.

Subaru Impreza STI widetrack, with the PPP. That's a lot of fun for about 9 grand.
Downside is the quality feel of the car is very 90s

B6 / B7 S4. Make sure you choose the auto, as the manual gearbox ruins the car (IMO, the B6 is significantly nicer than the B7, which is a little too styled and blinged).
