Drving a 306 GTi-6 at the mo.
Had it a few years and would like to change.
But, I dont know what to look at.
Contenders are:
Vauxhall Astra Coupe Turbo - Like these, you seem to get a lot for your money
Volkswagen Golf GTi (Turbo)
Audi A3 1.8T
Anyone got more ideas?
Does anyone have any bad things to say about the astra?
Cheers

well i fancy a turbo.
Love scoobys/evos. But the ones I like all seem to be the other side of 10K.
Mates got a cup, its ok, but I dont fancy another french car

Agreed with Tomcorsa, my mate just got one, although the previous owner modded it, the graph states 230bhp, good handling, I took it for a spin, ace!

I wasn't aware that Vauxhall had taken over the production of the Golf.. 
Personally i'd go for the Audi.

Sure the a3 turbo is only 150bhp but can surely be chipped to 225.....
