What Hot Hatch for under £10k

No real reason why an Impreza would cost particularly more than a Focus ST to run, had a Scoob for 4 years and cost less to run per year than the previous 306Gti-6 did, although this was a bulletproof 2.0 - do hear some horror stories about the 2.5's. Would be a more interesting choice than having another hot hatch on the drive, otherwise it would be the ITR or an Elise for me.
Does the Sub not require extra servicing? Thought it required stuff every 6k?Marf said:
The chassis is basically a Ford Focus, make of that what you will in terms of its cornering ability vs an ST.
As for boring looks, yes, the early models are less in your face than the later ones. This did change with the 06 model which got a fair bit more agressive.
from what ive seen in person the ST and the mps are way apart in terms of performance both in a line and corneringAs for boring looks, yes, the early models are less in your face than the later ones. This did change with the 06 model which got a fair bit more agressive.

My cousin had an s2000 and i couldnt turn the wheel as my legs were rubbing on the bottom. Was very cramped and couldnt get into a position to drive comforatbly.
Didnt realise the 'Roo servicing was like that. Always thought they were high maintenance or have i just confused them with the older models and the evo's?

Im not really after a classic like a 205. It will be used back and for Wales a good 6 times a year (250 miles each way).
147.....you trying to kill me? I cant afford all those front tyres! and its foggy enough in Fenand to not need the smoke aswell. The Alfas are massively over engineered are they not? What are they like for running costs? Is its going to cripple me?
