I have £8000 to spend on a new car, maybe push to £9000

Must fit into these categories:

3 door
2005 onwards
under 20k miles
140bhp upwards

insurance group isnt a problem and im not into jap cars, etc. Like the fun factor and looks of hatchbacks more.

Fire away with suggestion

tbh, my pick was a fiesta st in white

but also considered a clio 182

audi s3 wouldnt be affordable for £8k on 2005 onwards, id need to get an old one for that (however would love an a3 s-line

)

2005 onwards

I'd of thought 2003 + would be more sensible with your budget.

Fiesta ST is a bit slow. But if you are only after pub stats (150 bhp) be my guest.

What Paul said, if you want 2005 onwards your pretty much limited to the ST and I think Seat Ibiza FR's
