Ibiza Cupra, you'd be mad to choose any of the others on your list over it.

It's a great all round car, it's not french so it won't fall apart. It's got a very strong and tunable engine and it has all the toys. Oh and its a TURBO
It's a great car, I may even buy another one when im finished with the elise.
Yeah, that's fantastic but, read the first post mate. 6k. Find a cupra for 6k with average mileage. There's only 1 on auto trader (Y reg, 48k, £6250) but I know that car, and it's covered in dings, and been ragged to ****.It's a great all round car, it's not french so it won't fall apart.

Agree with Phill, admittedly it seems we are biased, but trust me.
For £6k you CAN get one if you look hard enough, I paid £5950 for mine! (51 Plate/ 35k FSSH 1 owner!) Admittedly It was lucky...
They arent in the same league as a Renault.
If you can get a 172 for say £4k, then go for that sure, but nothing more!
They are composed cars, if you want rawness get it revo'd and enjoy 200bhp from a simple remap
Handling wise, a Seat sport kit wouldnt be far off a Clio's cornering ability. And on the straights with a Revo you would say goodbye quite easily (as I have done several times with 182's).
Your choice though in the end...
ok, buy the french thing then.
I sold my 02 cupra with 24k for £7500
If I got a bargain one, then yes, I'd get one, but on autotrader at the moment I'm seeing
2000 X 35k £6799
2001 37k £7200
2001 37k £7500
or some high mileged ones
2000 84k £5000 (34k above av.)
2001 59k £5750 (14k above av.)
And don't you just hate it when people leave cars on autotrader when they've sold them!!!
Dont be afraid to offer cheeky money, some people price £300 or £400 more than what they want for it.
Try seatcupra.net, and believe it or not, ebay, as well, you get a few people selling them on there.
xzibit, you should still take a look at those cars, and make an offer. Most people expect to be haggled with on the price. Its probably worth taking a chance if you like the motor, if not, you got nothing to lose.
