Hi guys needs some help, my leon cupra 300 lease car is going back soon and im looking to buy my own car this time, budget of £20k give or take.
Needs to be 300bhp or over, 5 doors, decent size boot and not too old.
I have the bmw m135/140 in mind, would like to know what else is out there.
Also would prefer rwd or 4wd cheers

I do like them but I think it may feel quite similar to my cupra apart from the 4wd , I will need to test drive one

Focus ST (a little down on power by why the specific output?), Golf R although little diff to the S3 really as VW group, same engine etc
Civic Type R

Assuming your trying to stay in the same rough kind of size car?

edit sorry forgot the AWD/RWD thing but thought i may as well leave them there

Again a little down on power but this would certainly catch a few badge snobs out if thats your thing

Don't be too taken in by Audi's AWD and on-paper stats. They understeer like mad and the Civic is quite a bit quicker where it matters, despite only being FWD.

Impreza sti, might be able to squeeze a 2015-2018 one into the budget as there are a couple around the 18k mark
