Clio 200 replacements?

[ZackyGec]

Looking for a turbo car.
Something I can chuck around a corner.
Budget is around £15k.
Must have a nice interior.
Not a megane.
Prefer a DSG gearbox.
Any ideas guys?

Clio 200t?

If you can handle a MK4 Clio from the outside - it ticks the box of every requirement you've listed.

Buy a cheap 200t and put coilovers and a map fantastic car

M135i?

A friend has just bought a 135i as a track slag for the lols.

I had a go the other day and it's hilariously torquey. Just picks up in any gear and takes off.



135i/m135i
335i
Golf R32/R
E46 m3 smt

Struggling to think of anything else well built, fast and Dsg.

This....

Older m135i is a good shout though.

Cooper S JCW - arguably the most 'fun' car of the ones suggested so far for back road driving and being able to throw it round a corner. You really do need to drive one to appreciate how good they are. You should be able to pick up a tidy example 2-3 years old for around £12-£15k - http://www.sytner.co.uk/car-search/6095686-mini-hatchback-1.6-john-cooper-works-3dr-chili-pack/

May not be an issue but the running costs will also be a hell of a lot better than something like a R32, M3, 135i etc.

Golf R32? Could get a very nice example with some change left over too.
