the listof possibilities goes on..... 
All far too old for 9k, im looking at 2005 or newer with less than 40k on the clock, never been a fan of older cars.
I bought my 03 evo8 with only 30k on the clock for only £9kish and it looks bang uptodate
I'd personally look for a VXR if I was lookin for something newer

Someting in my head tells me the overall running costs and reliability of an Evo would be a lot more than a Megane, i would imagine insurance would be more for a start and fuel but i might be wrong.
Astra VXR's are but loads of chavs have them round here.

Meganes are far cheaper than Vxrs due to crazy depreciation!
Megane will be an ace buy so long as u get a say, 07 plate that has done majority of depriciating.....

Depreciation is a big worry, i am looking at 56/07, oiriginal price £20k, now arounf 9-10k so hopfully they wont drop a great deal more. Just called greenilight to get a quote and it will cost me £13 more a month on the F1 over the Mini. 
Might to take a look at this, its only down the road from me, ive asked them for a Part Ex price on my car and they are coming back to me in a couple of hours. Its done 18k miles, they said its cheap because it needs paint on the front bumper but is HPi clear and my old man owns a bodyshop so could be a bargain...page 2 half way down.

Ever thought about a Mazda3 MPS???
Absolute bargin at the mo and you can pick up an 07 plate for around the £9k mark.
Loads of goodies as standard as well and look superb imo

Dont float my boat and a lot of the reviews say they are 'uninspiring' to drive dispite the big power as standard.

Horrible cars to look at though IMO. I think the R26 has LSD too but i might be wrong.
