think so..........Will be mega money I think for a top spec one though..

If budget is 15k thats without taking any finace or loan, above that would have to start taking finance etc...Which I would prefer not too..

Budget might be 10k though don't know yet...

But a Astra gsi turbo is a thought now if you can pick them up at that kinda price, I think with a few wee mods and remapped etc they are stunning cars

good suggestion

Focus RS's are stunning cars too

And for value for money its got to be the astra turbo or gsi

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Ive drove a focus RS and a 55 plate Impreza the Impreza was an awsome drive, Wrong sort of Image though, the Focus RS is deffo cooler

Sorry for the preceeding essay!
I had an S3 it was the nuts but was very grown up and not much fun
Scooby had one of those loved it, but only fun when your doing stupid speeds = license loser and killing yourself!!
ST really dont hold their value, we had a 6 month old ST3 (so top of the range one) in performance blue with 5000 miles on the clock, we paid 15k for it!!!!
The RS is the best car i have EVER owned, its awesome. I love everything about it, its madness, you can go round roundabouts like you would not believe out of a front wheel drive car. The LSD is amazing, you get in the car and you can drive it normally or you can floor it and loon it about. You still get respect and looks in the car, equally you can drive through a dodgy estate and not sh*t yourself that your gonna get car jacked - like a scooby.
The RS IMO is an awesome awesome car, its so much fun to drive and values are pretty rock solid. I did an ST round a roundabout a few days ago. Ive had my RS on the rollers and it its totally standard (apart from a dump valve, which should make it loose bhp) and she got just over 220.
Beware though, its a set of tyres a year 18" alloys as standard mean thats not cheap.
250 miles to a £50 tank of petrol - thats driving carefully and a set of front pads (brembos mean they arent cheap) every 18 months or so and a set of rears every 2 years.
But worth every penny of that for smile factor!!!!

Great cars but not if your using it every day. Petrol is a fortune, again not much fun unless your doing stupid speeds, likely to get car jacked,servicing every 4500 miles and a new clutch every 8 launches!! Oh and dont sit in gear at traffic lights as you loose your clutch on that too.
Oh and short arses like me you cant pump the seat up

R32's lovely car but a bit of a lard arse!
CTR you have to rev the nuts out of it to get to the fun part - and how often do you get to do that.
But they are bloody rock solid on reliability
