Leon Cupra will give you 180HP, slightly smaller and another gear. No real catch. I have said Cupra and its been faultless for the last few months.
Had mine for 5 years. Still love it!

GTi Golf is a decent shout, although you need to get an 'Anniversary' model to get 180HP. The standard ones only have 150HP.

Wrong.

If anything, I'd say that Octavia is a bit overpriced.
Another option is the VW Bora 1.8T sport. I've had my 53 plate 2004 180bhp 6 speed model for about 8 years and they're great cars, but worth pennies now - thinking of selling mine on but value-wise it's probably only worth £1500.
Could get a Polo GTI? They come with the 150HP 1.8T but it responds well to a remap. Should get around 200HP, maybe a bit more. Would make a proper little pocket rocket.
