What hot hatch for around 9.5k

[bazrazmataz]

I've decided to sell my lovely 2004 cupra r and am looking for something a little newer 2007 and up lowish miles but I still want the same level of performance 225bhp and something I can still get the kids in the back. Looking to spend around 9.5k but any less is a bonus what can u guys recommend


Thanks

Under budget but not '07 on.

Megane RS.

Golf R32 MK5 ?
not sure there'll be much in it in terms of performance, but it'll be newer, better sounding and imo, better looking!

Should have said no French cars and I don't like the Alfa interiors I'm sad to say a bit of a chav at heart and love in the face and loud

Why no French cars? You can just about get into a Renaultsport megane 250, probably the best of the type of hot hatches you're looking at

Focus ST. Preferably with Mountune

+1 Renaulsport is acceptable as a French car.

Yeah that was my first thought. Should get a facelift one for that much

Depending on how big your kids are and whether you like a bit of sideways action, how about a BMW 130i?

[InfamousKeiran]

Seeing as you're coming from a Cupra R I'm presuming that you like straight line grunt.
How about a 3MPS?

I do like them. Never driven one but I like that they are powerful and a bit different from the norm.

I couldn't own a Renault after past experiences. Would consider a 3mps had the 6 MPs before was decent apart from heavy clutch. Was looking at focus St but prefer pre facelift looks

MK1 Focus RS


Then I noticed the 07 part, so...........mk2 leon cupra

Shame as you're missing out on a belter there. What was the previous issue?

Otherwise golf R32?

[bazrazmataz]

Had a clio that just fell apart and we have a fleet of renaults at work that are just constantly in the garage

[Defcon5]

Will a 2007 MPS be in the top tax bracket? Maybe a consideration

[JackP1]

Can you get a last model Audi S3 for that money?

[mikearwas]

130i no brainer.

It spanks your Cupra in a straight line too.

Renaultsports are built in a different factory with completely different parts, they are different cars.
