I'm sure I've seen a site where it shows expected values after 1,2,3,4,5 years etc
If it's anything like a Corsa GSi
10 grand
5 grand
2.5 grand
1250 quid
3 grand

Punto £3k after four years is shocking although the Corsa isn't much better.
£10k gets you an absolutely bonzar Signum.

But it costs just over 9 to start with if you buy online
Not sure about the Signum 
Look what else it gets though

I've had my fair share of shiny new stuff but buying new cars has always been silly. Right now it's particularly daft. Auction thread the other day, 2005/05 X5 is the same price. Daft.

if your looking at corsa VXR`s and Clio 197`s you shouldnt be looking at a Punto T-Jet to compare, they havent done a propper HOT Punto, maybe the Abarth esse esse but they are too dear

I was tempted to use the M word but I don't think it's viable because it's absolutely so terrible on fuel. Plus they're still over 10k, albeit only slightly.

Worse engine but it's lost £20k in two years.

They'll depreciate even more won't they, I was looking at them a couple of cars ago and the older ones were really really cheap.

That Monaro is in the same tax bracket as the Clio & Corsa

I'd love a Corsa VXR. Reckon it would be worth buying one when they get to 6-7K and then just keeping it.

Drive the Corsa and the Clio, I could imagine the Corsa would be a better road car with potential to tune if you got bored.
I personally would buy the Clio as I love my Renault Sports and love the dynamics of them.
But if I had 10k I would wait a while and do what Nismo said that or a E46 Coupe M3.
Punto doesnt even compare to the other two unless you are picking it up for mega cheap

Clio out of those. Punto if it was the Abarth.
Personally I would put a bit more money in and buy a 2nd hand R56 Mini Cooper. I just really like them even though they are slower and quite a bit more expensive. But what the hell, be boring if everyone liked the same things And its still a very good car
