Ok as above. I'll be selling the car around April time fingers crossed and I'll be looking at a newer upgrade.

The budget I have is £10k max and I've narrowed it down to 3 cars. The seat Leon K1/cupra, mk5 golf edition 30 and dare I say it the nurburgring edition Astra vxr. Its got to have as little mileage as possible. I'd prefer to buy one with the expensive mods already done as I can't be assed spending a fortune modding the car again lol, I don't mind doing the odd smallish mods. It's got to be 07 or newer as well.

I was thinking on getting another Evo but the car will be used daily and using an Evo everyday the fuel bill is unreal so that rules that out.

Anyone think of anything else that I might have missed or not considered???

Don't like the shape of the Monaro, prefer the vxr8. Plus that'll be extortionate to run everyday I'd imagine lol.

if it's a hot hatch you want, then just go for the golf edition 30 with a remap.

they come in 5 doors so just as good as your leon and look nice too.

you've had an astra before.

Out of that lot, I'd probably be tempted with the Astra and a warranty.

Cupra, not that I'm biased. Not the K1 though. Hate the BTCC kit

There is an 09, Inferi, Stage 2+ Cupra on cupranet for 10K and looks to want a quick sale. Might drop a little more.

That scooby looks bloody nice but if I was to go down that route again I'd rather have another Evo.

I think your right Ben, I'd just be waiting on the gearbox to go bang again if I bought another one lol.

Looks like its out the K1 or the golf. I'll just need to kind someone local to me that has either one and have a go to see which one I prefer.

I like the K1 over the cupra as its a bit more special looking.

That spec c is lovely !! Is the paint really thinner for weight reasons

Don't really see many K1's on the road, would need to be a white one

The burgs are nice but you've already had a Vxr and like you say you'd always have the radio off so you can listen out for gearbox whine.
