Which car for 10k?

[Batson7]

Hello

I’m looking for a new car at the minute, I’m struggling to find anything that is ticking all of the boxes.

I’m looking for turbo car( never had one and want to sample the turbo flutter sound haha) it has to look sporty , be good around b roads and have a nice interior.

I have been looking at focus st’s but they are not the best looking cars in my opinion, also I’m looking for something a bit newer if possible.

I like gtc vxr’s but I’m worried about depreciation on them not sure if that would be a problem or not?

Both cars meantioned are hot hatches, that’s all I’ve every had but I would be open to other cars as well.

Just wondering what you guys would buy with that budget and criteria?

Thanks for reading and look forward to your replies 👍

Anything you're looking at is going to depreciate, the VXR's have suffered the worst of their depreciation now so will depreciate at a similar level so although you're in a newer car it's worth the same as the older Focus ST & they will depreciate at a similar rate it's the same with Golf's Leon's etc, but if you like the car that's not really an issue.

The GTC VXR's are nice cars not as dynamically good as the RS Megane Focus ST or Edition 30 Golf but on a Par with a normal GTI/Leon/ non Cup RS Megane etc.

RS250 the best drivers hot hatch

ST-3 Don't look past these that 2.5T is a cracker & although it's not a sharp as the Megane it's still a good drivers car.
