Next Car Choice for £8k

[Lazydriver23]

Hello, first time posting on here and would like some suggestions on my next car. I have a budget of 8k but obviously lower is also fine. I currently drive a corsa vxr and love the car but I feel it is time to move on although I am unsure what to pick. I would like similar or better performance with both straight line and through corners. I do still like the idea of a hatchback but any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. I would prefer manual and with room for some possible tuning further down the line.

Many thanks

Did have a brief look at the clios originally but I think I would prefer a turbocharged engine, completely forgot about the gti's so will have a browse if there are any nearby. Thanks

I nearly toyed with the MPS for a track day car. Very under radar.

If you can stretch the budget & haggle hard then the GTC VXR is an option:

if looking at Mk5/6 GTI also look at MK2 Leon Cupra and Cupra R.

They have same engine as GTI but with the bigger turbo (240-265ps), GTI edition 30 gets the same.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys, may have to take a look at the newer shape astra vxr's but the higher mileage does put be off although they do look to be maintained quite well
