My mate who is currently in some far off hot country with the Navy has asked my advice on what to spend a chunk of cash on when he returns.

He's asked me two specific criteria;
  • Hot Hatch
  • £6k-9k
Beyond the obvious Focus STs and Type R's, I want some suggestions from PH which we haven't thought of along with some other choices for the crazy list - my reasoning being that if he's at sea for chunks of the year, fuel economy isn't relevant and just to see what's suggested, throw practicality out of the window.

So £6-£9k is the price range and I'm looking to compile a hot hatch list and a just plain fun list to get started.

Also, please bare in mind he's 20, so insurance will be an issue for the seriously high end cars.

Erm well he could get a TVR and probably be able to insure it aswell.

Well, it has to be said. So, MX5. Should get a very nice Mk3 with the suspension mods done for that.

Why does he want a hot hatch anyway?

PS. This is my 10,000th post. So I had to say MX5, really.

so this equals about 169.5 posts per month or about 5.6 posts per day if you average 30 days per month
