FN2 Civic Type R? Seats fold down and boot is massive. Only downside is that it's 3 door.

Someone mentioned this a while ago and i've actually started taking a liken to.
Toyota Corolla TSport Compressor, Great looking car with 215bhp from a 1.8 Supercharged engine, looks very roomy inside.
Looking around they can be picked up for less than £5k

Thanks for all the input so far guys, very helpful indeed.
I've looked at the Megane 225's, and whilst it's fairly impressive stats wise on paper, the looks just aren't my cup of tea to be honest.
The reason for 5 doors and a hatchback is two fold;
Maybe I just need to look at trying to increase the budget from £5k to say £7k. Would that open up more options to me?

- Kids and family need to be able to get in the back without having the hassle of a 3 door with folding seats
- Saloon won't work as I need to be able to get two dogs in the back

You should be able to find an ST220 well within budget. You already own a MK3 Mondeo so you know how practical it is.
The Focus ST will cost a fair bit more for a good one and if you like leather, you'll lose a seat in the back.

They're a 3-door though. As are the normal T-Sports.
(As an aside; it's shocking how much they've gone down in price. Dad bought his secondhand about 3 years ago for £10k, mint condition, and now there's Comps going for £5k... Less for some examples!! He's gutted as it's mostly the numpties that have done too much to the engines and broke them that have driven down the price.)
