Cupra 290 gone, unsure what to buy next.

[P4D]

My Cupra has just gone back as the two year lease was up.

I’ve got a budget of 22k and was set on a 140i however it’s proving difficult finding one with the options I want.

Any other cars out there that you’d suggest looking at around this budget?

Have you looked at a 340i?

I've had a look, and there only seems to be a handful out there within my budget

435D?

What is the brief?

22K could buy you quite a lot.

Based on looking at the 140i. Be aware that AT hides some of them under "shadow edition"

There is of course the 135i - though slightly older and that may be a factor.

What age limiting factors are there?

Not much to go on, so i've based on some assumptions. As you are looking at a hatchback and fairly hot? (based on wanting a 140i) - you could look at the likes of - (based on you having a Cupra - these won't be too "alien" in feel) and of a more "premium" feel like a BMW -

Audi RS3

Audi s3 (saloon) -

More of the same with VAG - wouldn't call it particular premium but its a nice cabin.

Golf R -

German and not VAG -

Mercedes A45 -

Less premium but a very good car -

Civic Type R

Something slightly leftfield. Very good steer. Nice looking and somewhat understated -

Jaguar XE

More of the same -

Cupra 300

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202105293...

Not a hatch and giving up 2 seats but a mighty fine useable daily 2 seater -

Porsche Cayman

Like Steve above I'd say take a good look at the XE S they're a very good underrated steer:
