earliest base model ST170's are still going for £17k second hand. Holding value very well. Which is good for my dad, who is selling it and getting a Zafira GSi.

Get the Mini one,Because it uses the same engine as the Cooper just upgrade the ECU and performance will match the cooper.

Mini!
If you thought of the golf- should get the leon instead, rated much better, same car basically!
106gti, nice, but think they looking dated now, they'll be replaced soon with a new model so prob not best idea get one of them new! 206 would be better!
You can get a focus Zetech with 2 years free insurance now for around 12k thats worth it! Nice cars too.
