Could go old school and have a 90's RS Turbo, Golf GTI, Clio Williams, R5GT Turbo etc etc.

A nice one could be had for that money I am sure and might be more friendly on the insurance than a modern warm hatch.

He's after something fairly new, I tried talking him into a 182 trophy but the insurance is a bit too much, anything else?

Citroen C2 1.6 VTS. My 21 yr old brother is running this as his first car. Paying £900 for insurance I think.

125hp, 0-60 in 8s and nice noise for what it is.

RS Clio 182 Cup. Citroen Saxo VTS. Ford Fiesta ST. A car named after my favourite art pamphlet.

182 would be a bit too much to insure I'm afraid, that was my first suggestion

The Twingo 133 is a corker, I prefer it to the Clio 197 and Megane 265, actually. Crappy interior and a nagging doubt something will break aside because it's a Renault, I'd go for one of those from your list. smile

Oh, Panda 100hp? Not that girly in grey.
The twingo is his top choice, think this thread is done hopefully update with some pictures when he buys, thanks
