Looks like this might be a tough decision. Cupra R or Celica 190 .

Obviously the Cupra has more BHP but looking at it stats wise, they both get to 60mph at 7.2 seconds.

Cupra R's look quite hard to get hold of, well, more than celica 190's anyway.

You could always get a normal Cupra and get a remap if it if 180bhp isn't enough.

Although there are rather a lot of Rs around..

Probably? Definitely. And in a straight line too. The problem for the OP though, I suspect, would be that a 172/182 still just looks like a Clio.

how did you guess

There are quite a lot within your budget, but don't be put off by the mileage.

God, I was going to let my "R" go for less than that.
