Does it have to be manual? I've been looking at the Mazda 3 MPS but it only comes as a manual.

0-60 in 5.9 seconds.

Mind you, you won't get 35MPG either.

It sounds like you're looking for some kind of high powered diesel barge. I have no idea if the 330d tourer came in an automatic though.

ETA What about the Octavia VRS DSG?

Of course it did, it is manuals that are rarer on these

This.

Brilliant car and you'll get a nice one for that money. I was 23 when I bought mine and miss it loads.

• Fast round corners
A few strange requirements in there, this one caught my eye. There can't be that many corners on the motorway (or in the town)you drive in at weekends.
If anyone comes up with a car which gets close to meeting your spec I will take my hat off to them.

I fear my fiesta will flip.
I hope that's just a figure of speech.
