most interesting car for less than £4,500

[willttqs]

HI, I don't really drive that many miles and am looking to get a quick car that is stylish and comfortable. i live in and work at a boarding school, so image is quite important. i have been through tt 240, tt v6, boxster s, alfa 147 gta and most recently a mx5. I must keep the car for a couple of years. I am contemplating between a puma racing, a mini cooper s or a mk1 s3 or possibly a v6 a3. what are your thoughts and have i missed anything off? i don't want a conveyable as the mx5 i have i love, but it has rusted and the car will have to be left outside to the elements, so it is not ideal.

thanks for any helpful or unhelpful comments!!

That has absolutely no relevance to her car choice.

Won't get a FRP for 4.5k, I'd go with a Leon cupra r

I picked this up a few weeks ago for £4.5k. I got it from a Toyota dealer so it came with a warranty, fresh service and mot. The tyres were brand new as well. It's a 53 plate and It's done 70k miles but it drives very well.

It's not the fastest thing in the world but more power is very cheap to get with a reduced supercharger pulley.

I am a bloke, even though I've had some girly cars!! there are two ford puma racings on piston heads for below 4.5 so i am pretty certain they exist.
