If I was to get an A3, I would only get the 1.8T, and id think twice about that.

200sx S14a + tuning goodies for that money... you wont regret it from a performance perspective???


6k would get you an Astra Coupe Turbo if you want something more refined with still a bit of grunt....

what about an Ibiza cupra...?

Calibra turbo and 4grand change???

Anything but a CRAP A3!

im tempted by the astra coupes, seen quite a lot for sale, but my bro has one already.

am really stumped.

really like the 200sx but servicing, fuel comsumption etc will all add up, plus am not sure how good the engines are at high miles

Yeah I will be looking to buy in about a year, hoping to spend around £10k.

Any less is a bonus, other contenders are Mk4 Astra GSi or Leon Cupra R 225
