Focus st/rs

golf gti and a remap

30ish mpg in what use? Open road most Subarus will do that, around town they won't.

ST's or RS's wont be had for this money or reach 30mpg.

Might be lucky and find a Mazda 3 MPS somewhere for £4k. This would be my bet, although sub 7 second 30mpg cars are rare at any budget...

MX5 with a turbo strapped on.

mk2 MR2 Turbo?

There are a few MINI Cooper S models in the classifieds around the 4.5k mark. Worth considering?

EDIT: Can't remember whether the early ones were turbos or supercharged!? They changed over on the update.

GenI MCS' are supercharged...

Just out of curiosity - is there a reason you want a car with a turbo?

[DannyVTS]

astra coupe turbo?

[ge0rge]

low powered n/a's kinda bore me..

[5lab]

123d?

edit : didn't see the 4k limit.

clio 182 does it without the turbo
volvo s40 t4
some sort of saaaaaaaab
some sort of vag with the 1.8t engine (tt? golf gti? octavia vrs?)
fabia vrs might be that quick (can't remember)
cooper s?

If you can buy a 123d for 4k, I'll have one.

I know they depreciate like nothing on earth, but £4k?

If it does 0-60 in 7 seconds i doubt it would be low powered.

good call

also Leon Cupra and volvo s40 t4 worth a look

[ge0rge]

itrs and ctrs are too much like rag tastic. prefer a bit of torque, ya know?

[alfa pint]

Rover 220 turbo or 620 ti, if you can find one in good enough nick. Probably a few Supras out there too.

[SimonBeeeeer]

Celica GT4?
Nissan 200SX?

Would have to work hard to get 30MPG though.

ooooooo the rovers are a good call, a friend of mine had a 220 Turbo "tomcat" years ago
back then it was a decent enough car
