Impreza hatches are nice. But offer the same fuel economy as a mid 90's turbo coupe with higher tax and less power.

They also look like hyundai i30's but I do like them somewhat, I did nearly buy one.

I'm really unsure on the new impreza. One day I like it, and the next I think the rear is damn ugly

Doesn't have a "decent inside" but should definately give a bit of a kick...

Elise?

No space for the nipper, but I would like to own one in the future!

Wow I wasn't expecting such a bad review. I looked around at some youtube test drive videos and most of the things that were said about it, was positive. The user reviews on whatcar give it a 4 but i'm sure the users won't want to admit they made a mistake

How about a Citroen DS3 Racing?

Look's like a Trainer

If I had 15k to spend on a hatch, Would be something like this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201308288503283/sort/default/usedcars/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/fuel-type/petrol/transmission/manual/model/scirocco/make/volkswagen/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/1501/postcode/page/1/keywords/R?logcode=p

Better examples to be had for 1-2k more though.

What do these offer over the Golf equivalent?

[TW]Fox · 14 Oct 2013 at 15:46

Haha, 16k for a 90k mile 3.5 year old Scirocco? What?

MissChief · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:08

Late, Low Mileage E46 M3??

LiE · 14 Oct 2013 at 16:29

How about: Megane 2.0 T Renaultsport

With that mileage? They're asking a lot surely?!

minus that stupid spoiler though

Does the 15k include the sale/trade of your focus ?

Scougar · 14 Oct 2013 at 17:00

Skyline R34 :-)

Job done

If you could deal with 2 seat... then 350Z all the way.

Nothing other than subjective looks, oh and they are also FWD opposed to 4WD of the Golf R.

Yep.

I do like the look of those. I actually thought they would be more expensive than 15k.

Don't buy one of those, your 15k will be worth 5p in a few years

Tute · 14 Oct 2013 at 19:01

I'm going to sound like a stuck record after also recommending it recently but if you like your Focus ST, why not just step up to an RS?

Only caveat is that it might take a couple of grand more to get into the baulk of the market, but it's just about the best hot hatch money can buy.

Soulja · 14 Oct 2013 at 19:04

I've been looking at them today and I think it would be about 19k for a decent one. I might save for a few months and see where I'm at then. I have a feeling if I got something like the GTI I would regret it later on.
