Well, my bro is having the GT off me at the weekend, so I want another car. Don't want to spend any more than 6k, as I'm saving for stuff.

I want a newer car, (about 2000 onwards) and I'm stuck. I don't really want to go slower, and want reasonable fuel consumption, so there's limited options.

Short list.

172
HGT (bit slower but cheap)
206 GTi (again slower)
Cupra (decent ones more than 6k and don't wanna spend any more)

Considered a 20v coupe, but for 6k, you are looking at 60k plus, and wouldn't want a higher mileage car than what I've got.

So, what ya reckon? I'm thinking 172.
