The Jag still has a whiff of golf club about it.
Absolutely While the RS is a bit council
The 140i is very bland
Megan's RS looks pretty cool
Civic TR shell suit time with back turned base ball cap
Golf R that's a bit golf club
Leon 300 a budget Golf
But the best bit about cars is you but whatever the f
k you want (even a PT cruiser...) if you like it. Who cares what anyone else does or doesn't think. Unless your trying to buy an investment classic & OP has discounted the DB7 so it's modern depreciating vehicles. Oh, I agree. The image wouldn't bother me, but it might bother the new hot hatch buyer. Who might also be bothered about practicality.
The RS isn't council, though, it's blue collar business owner, as is the Civic. If he were 20 years older, he'd have the Jag and his son would have the Seat. The Golf is for his accountant and the Audi is for his IFA.

1 series is too bland, same with the Golf really. To the average person off the street there's no real discernable difference vs your run of the mill version.
Civic Type R for the bonkers look
Megane RS if you were going to do track days
Focus RS for everyday duties
Out of those, it'd have to be the Focus for me

Is there a particular reason why you want a hatchback? I know a preposterously wealthy man who drives a Mini JCW as parking at his offices is tight. For driving fast, something a bit bigger is usually a bit more stable. You can get into an M4 for 35k that'll st all over your mates hatchbacks..
I'm not suggesting anything potentially ancient and ruinous like I'd be tempted to gamble on, just saying that if you'll consider an M140i then the M4 isnt going to cost that much more to run. Slightly bigger tyres, and a bit more on fuel, yes, but it's still a turbo'd 3 litre 6 pot. You can get reasonable consumption from them when driven sensibly.

nearly new mustang for me, a proper drivers car, not a uber lease mobile.
Not a bad shout. He could have either a cabrio or coupe for his money. They are well reviewed.. my brother is considering one. Personally not my thing, especially when you can get a manual 340i M Sport for £32k pre registered, but they are very different cars.http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...

As a Mustang GT owner it's a bit of a different proposition to a hot hatch. My girlfriend ordered a Seat Leon Cupra 300 SC on the great lease deal they're doing today (£249 1+23). I'm quite looking forward to driving it, she drives a fiesta ST at the moment and it's nice to get out of the mustang (a fantastic car for the money) and into something a bit more nimble every now and then. That V8 though, masterpiece.djc206 said:

Interesting input. I'd go for the Cupra over the Golf R as I think 2wd is generally more interesting. The 140i sounds more fun, but there is no denying the fun/hairyness that 300bhp through the front wheels would bring. Probably more of a handful to live with day to day.PH Answer:
249 a month for a Cupra 300 for two years (6kish) and the other 24 on something special.

The Cupra is brilliant. I have 350 bhp going through the front wheels of my 280 (PS4S tyres and a £25 torque arm bush the only suspension mods) and it's brilliant fun with no grip issues. I was in the market for a M135i but sometimes cars surprise you! PH Answer:

Depends what you want out of a car. For me, I want something that will take me, the Mrs, the dog and a couple of bikes, plus be able to fit the shopping in and the occasional extra couple of people.t all over your mates hatchbacks..I wouldn't be buying it for bragging rights with my mates, I grew out of the whole 'mines better than yours' a long time ago.
