Hi All

Looking at getting a new car to upgrade from my wee 1.0L Corsa.

I have a budget of around 7500 GBP and the Engine Size needs to between a 1.2L and a 1.6L

Cheers

Why that displacement ? Not very good power, I don't really see any upside. You're better getting a 2.0 or higher.

Clio 197 or a Clio 200 with a facelift

DO IT

Nah but seriously, maybe a fiesta st, Golf R replica, Suziki swift sport. If I think of more I'll let you know.
As the Suzuki Swift sport is deemed safest car on the road in the UK, compared to most 1.6 hot hatches the swift is the cheapest on insurance and is quite nippy.
