It's all a sliding scale though and different people have different ideas of quick which isn't far enough up the scale to remove one of the other metrics (e.g. the big volvo estate above with 180bhp)
7 years ago I picked up an R32 GTR with 450bhp for £5k, that definitely only came with 2 of the above
Your spec me threads show a quite a variety of requirements.

VW Caddy or Seat Leon FR?
Should I keep my Seat Leon FR 2008 or get a 2011 VW Caddy? My Leon will go for 3k as it has a lot of modifications and the Caddy is around £5500...

Paid for my Noble 
Edit: I actually owned 2 R32 GTR's, one was £5k and the other £5.5k!
Yeah i already have one
Why have you made 3 threads in as many days with different requirements? Do you want a van or a car? You've now thrown in the requirement that it be "sexy"...
Hint: unless you multiple your budget by about 5, you aren't going to get anything "sexy", reliable, quick and that comfortably sits 3 people and has a boot big enough for a mountain bike...

So why not state that in the Op instead of "has enough room for 3 people + MTB" which implies the MTB going inside the car

+ I haven't had an OP?
When you don't get replies you just need to make more threads ;D
Was a great car didn't really wonna get rid but someone offered me twice what it was worth so had to let it goIronically the Seat Leon FR is probably a good suggestion for these requirements I'd have thought
