I'm looking at buying a used car to replace my current 1.0-litre runaround as I crave a bit more power. I've been looking at a 1.4 Golf GT TSI, which costs around £2500. I don't have the money yet, but I will in a couple of months. I can only find a few advertised below £3000, which is my maximum budget. It costs £1300 a year to insure with one responsible additional driver, which is actually less than I paid for my current car for the first year. My main problem is that I can't find any cars with a 0-60 of between 7-8 seconds and a top speed of around 140 mph, as well as having a decent amount of equipment and being practical (five seats, decent boot). I would buy the Golf GT now in a heartbeat if I could, but it's looking highly likely all the good ones for low price will be sold by the time I get round to being able to afford it. Do you have any alternatives?
