or an Ibiza Cupra?? Same spec as the golf for less money, I am biased though.
To put it in perspective theres a 25th Anniversary 02 plate Mk4 golf for sale near me. BBS rims, 180bhp, recaros, brembos etc and its up for £12995!!!!
My 51 plate Ibiza Cupra-R, rarer than the golf, same 180bhp engine, leather, brembos so basically the same car, £6750!!

As above, unless you fancy getting a turbo'd Astra and having fun with 'typical' GTI drivers 
Oh, and don't get me started on the subject of Volvos. Look in my garage -- enough said...
