Helping a m8 try and find a car (I know nothing about anything with 4 wheels though so thought I'd ask the experts :))

...he wants something thats v reliable for everyday use and good performance without owning a car that looks like it's bumped into halfords (so no scoobys / evo's etc)

Budget is about 18k, so far looking at...

New shape Civic type R (though looks terrible imo)

Audi A3 2.0 TFSI S-line, either the 2wd or Quattro



Looks like the A3 has the most potential with companys like superchips doing simple upgrades to 240bhp and a ton of extra torque..

Any thoughts on these two motors, or alternatives.

Cheers dudes
 
350Z nice car, he says he doesn't like them... same with Audi TTs. Car needs to be similar 'class' as the A3 and Civic. So slightly bigger than hot hatch.. his current motor is a 3 series beemer compact but wants decent performance and understated 'wolfs in sheeps clothing' styling.
