Find me a 10k car with 300bhp... 14second 1/4m... 5 doors for family freindlyness... Big enough to fit a load of sh*te in... Will do 35MPG on a run.... aesthetically pleasing... Drives reasonably well. GO!  :popcornsoda:

SAAB 9-5 Aero
Mazda 3 MPS
Volvo V50 T5
Focus ST
Audi S3
Leon K1
Megane various....

SAAB 9-5 Aero **** will break... Mine had waaaaay less problems than the GTI
Mazda 3 MPS **** will blow up and won't do 35mpg.... Lol, neither true
Volvo V50 T5 **** (should have said hatchback)... More cubic footage-idge-at-bility
Focus ST **** won't do 35mpg in a million years... You didn't say downhills weren't allowed
Audi S3 **** 10k? Really... Ish
Leon K1 **** yeah I guess so :-)
Megane various.... **** if you want to drive around in a tin foil shell... True.






Re MPG although stage 1/2 eddy will do 35mpg, the only way it will is driving it off boost and cruising, most of the cars above will achieve that in the same fashion, had 40mpg outta the 9-5 aero... But seriously the mk5 gti is a great car, the addition of the k04 made it shine.

Focus ST WILL do 35mpg - I ran one for a year and 36mpg is possible on a steady cruise (this was before a map which is supposed to make it better).

The 5pot sound is epic throughout the rev range (with pops & bangs on the overrun) and the seats in the ST3 are great, the thigh support makes it a very comfortable GT car.

Dont knock it until you have tried one  :happy2:

I have driven one and loved it, but the owner of it said the MPG was a crippler! Like you say the 5 pot is lovely!

Wouldn't take a Gift of a FORD and don't like them ST's at all  :sick:
Got a proper Run in an RS Focus and it was crap, even have a video somewhere  :smiley:

My Wee Grey high Spec Edition with 24K will do me.
Still have my mk4 Anni TDI love it to, on classie insurance now :)
Golfs are for keeps

They seem to be a bit overpriced. Would rather get S3 with quattro as 300 bhp without LSD is useless..

You get what you pay for ....

We paid: £10,900 for a super clean 42k ED30 6 months ago, same dealer is still getting the same money for them today as they are good sellers. He gets more money for 07 plate s3 & R32's , they all sell very well.

When i was looking there were very few under 10k for sale. Now there are a some at around 9k

There is an 09 plate Ed30 on PH for £4300. This week

So over priced NO, in demand YES
