Hot Hatch/performance car for =£13k

[Haydnz1234]

Hi all, recently I've been looking into a new car in which I'll be having to get at the beginning of next year. Thought I'd start early so I know my choice for certain when my car returns on its PCP instead of getting dragged into another contract. I'm not looking for anything too old, something preferrably with a screen and Apple CarPlay as it's great instead of a Satnav sitting in front of my face and I also like the spotify integratio (looks a bit nicer than a radio). I don't want too many miles on the clock, but willing to take a hit on that if there's a good car for the money. Performance wise I'd like something rather quick, ~200bhp seems good for me but anything 150-300 I'd consider.

Cars I've been considering:
SEAT Leon Cupra 280 (2014> start around 13k with 30k mls)
VW Polo 1.8TSI GTI ( 2015> start around 10-11k ~20k mls)
Vauxhall Corsa VXR (Not really my thing, although they are reasonably priced)
Ford Fiesta ST (2018 Model, thinking if it falls similar to the last gen it'll be around my budget next year)
Vauxhall Astra GTC VXR (I do like these, but for a nicer spec and a later model it's too expensive.)
Toyota GT86/BRZ (Not really the biggest fan interior wise, I know I'm a bit picky)

It doesn't bother me whether its manual or DSG, any suggestions or if you think a car I've looked at is worth another look please let me know!

Cheers.

I would go for a mk7 golf gti.

Got my 2014 Cupra 420 up for sale now but its above your budget.

I personally wouldn’t consider a Cupra - I currently have a Cupra 300 ST and it’s really dull, both to look at / listen to, and to drive. But it was cheap on lease

What about an early M135i?

I think the outgoing Fiesta ST is loads of fun, and really tuneable. The new one looks like it will continue the trend. That would be my pick from your list!

Android auto you need VW 2016 onwards really.

New Fiesta won't drop to £13k by next year
