and under 40k miles on it.

anything faster than mine lol but quotes on most 1.6's are just under 1k so anything bigger is well out of the question
wouldnt mind an a3 but all the ones in my price range have well above 70k on

I know it's a 1.4 but a 106 quicksilver?
Edit - or a 106 GTi, depending on insurance.
