Think about part exchanging the Astra in

Even though I like it a lot, cant help but thinking its a bit to "grown up and boring for me" Its the 1.9 CDTi SRI so is quite fast but I want something more interesting

Really enjoyed owning the Mini I had before it, it was like owning a go-kart and put a smile on my face evertime I drove it

Thought about the Corsa VXR and the Clio 197 but even consider an oldish Audi TT

Would prefer something with a bit of warranty on and in the "hot hatch bracket". No higher than group 16 insurance

Anyone got any recommendations?

TT isn't a hot hatch?

Do you need 4 seats? 12k will get you a decent S2K/Z4.

Sorry, Il will be more specific

Group 16 insurance
4 or 5 seats
25 MPG at least

I know TT isnt hot hatch but I have always liked them, just not sure how reliable they are, my budget would probably get me a 2004 30k mileage one

TT only has 4 seats for show.

Insurance groups and even engine sizes don't mean everything with insurance prices, get quotes instead of saying group 16, a group 10 car could cost you more to insure than another group 17 one.

TT only really has 2 seats and a piece of leather to put shopping on!

1.8T Audi TT
25mpg or less
Group 18 insurance
4 seats but back is useless for passengers
