    Well its new car time.

    Need opinions im looking at buying my first brand new car so far the short list is as follows budget is around 20k

    Focus ST3 (cant afford RS LOL)
    Astra VXR
    Corsa VXR Artic
    Clio 197 Cup

    You can see a pattern lol its gotta be a HOT HATCH

    I considered a Evo 6 TME and a Impreza P1 but cant bring myself to spend 10-12k on a 8 year old car

    It depends what you want them for really, if you do a decent amount of miles then I would go for a Clio, cheapest to run Iw ould guess.

    If you want a thrill and scope for a very quick car, trackdays etc then I'd go for one of the rally cars you've mentioned, TME FTW IMO!

    Look at this and if you still don't want one your a gheeey!

    If I had to choose probably the Astra (but prefer Vaux's).
    Have you considered a Seat Leon or something like that?!

    VXR is the most animal - ish one in your list.

    Although an ST with a mountune conversion is seriously rapid, look into it.

    Megane R26?
    Punto Gt no more!

    VXRs are driven by twats IMO so the Renault

    You want the one with the least depreciation surely if its new and your not sure what you want.

    Would also suggest the sporty Meganes, they can look truely HULK!

    ST or the Clio. I can't stand Vauxhalls. Interiors are so cheap and nasty.

    But I'm also with Moz, get the 500 Abarth Essesse.
