Right my mate is wanting to spend around 10k on a new car for himself.

Today we came to the conclusion of

Honda Civic type-r
Vauxhall Astra Coupe turbo
Seat Leon Cupra R

What i want to know without and stupid comments is which would be the quicker of them, how good is the handling etc

Also if there is any other cars that sort of compete in that sort of category. the car cant be more than 10k thought.

Some kind of Golf or Audi. Although for £10k I think it'll be a pretty bland one.

Out of that line up, I'd probably chose the Seat Leon Cupra R.

Leon, because the Cupra R is the best looking out of the bunch, and probably the quickest and most refined too.

Leon Cupra R - looks nicest is standard guise. Build quality will most probably be the best being VAG and all. I just like them.

Not the astra coupe, might as well pick up a cheaper example if you really want one (start around 5k with lowish miles) and save on the shedloads of depreciation

The leon is powerful, beautiful and sticks to the road like its on rails. It also has ample tuning potential

Ask any BTCC fan how good they are

only thing i'd say against the Leon is there are so many of them around now. It's no fun seeing someone else drive the same car, Same goes for the Civic aswell.
