I know what I want;

Small
Powerful
Nice inside

That's it. No other criteria other than price really.

The M3, C63, ISF, RS4 are wild cards but I don't think I want something that big this time round after seeing an M3 next to a 135i

Mk6 Ed35 golf
A45 AMG (might be very pricey still tho)
Mk2 Leon Cupra R
Mk2 focus RS
Audi S3 new shape
Evo 10

What about a VXR8. I never realised they're under £25k now.

Edition35 isn't powerful enough, neither is the Leon, A45s are too much

The Leon R is 260bhp but a map takes them to over 300bhp. The same with the ed35 I think.

Go for the FRS in green.

My chest isn't hairy enough and I'd rather have a mustang or a challenger.

Could get a GT3 Esprit, cheaper, lighter the "drivers Esprit" and of course, being turbocharged... Tuneable
