Might be looking for a new car in a few months, will have about £9k to spend, pending what I get selling current cars.
I dont want links to any cars, cos I cant buy just now but just ideas.
Criteria:
Nothing old - at least 2002/2003 model.
Nothing silly running costs.
Prefer a 4/5 seater - 2 doors & a boot
Any suggestions??

2004 seat leon cupra Tdi
ok, it has 4 doors but they go very very well (150bhp and lots of torque) can be mapped easily to give 180+ bhp and silly torque figures, look fantastic, cheap to run and insure, leather, climate, super reliable etc...
