Ive had my little corsa sxi since i was 17. Now im 21 i want a change and i can be arsed to sell it and get summin different

Ideally i want to spend £6000ish, But i could stretch as far as £10k if its something special with out losing much money on it.

I have a couple of ideas but nothing is really interesting me to be honest.

172's 2003 model 30kish miles £6000ish (£1700 insurance)
Civic vtec sport 2004 model 20k miles £8000ish (£850 insurance)
206 gti 2002 model 30k miles £5000 (£1200 insurance)
Mini cooper 2004 model 20k miles £10000 (£1000 insurance)

Really struggling to think what i want.

Just want something that has a bit of poke, looks good, decent reliability etc etc

What do you recommend then guys?

I'd go for the 172 personally, although not sure about reliability on it being French.

m8 6k and 10k is a huge difference in budget, you need to make your mind up.

Out of those the cooper will hold its value best by a long mile.

yea i know what u mean, basically i wanna spend £6k, But i would spend £10k on a mini cause i know its gonna hold its value well.

I dont wanna spend £10k on a.... 206 gti 180 and then in a year or two it will be worth half that.
