Default What car for 11k

I have a budget of up to 11k to spend on a second car for myself.
It must have four seats and of hatchback size.
My current favourites are a mk5 R32 and a Focus ST3, the focus being the fore runner due to current prices being a few grand less than the equivalent year Golf.

Any suggestions to rival these two...........

Nik.

Mk5 Golf GTi
Vectra VXR
and Mazda MPS's are also worthy alternatives.

Agree with all the above. You cn get some cracking motors for £11k. I quite fancy an Astra VXR or even an rx8, both can easilthad for £11k

I prefer the Focus over the Astra and the RX8 is a little cramped in the back for two kids.

I know it's a bit bigger than you want but I think you should give serious consideration to a Volvo S60 T5 R.
