Default 10k budget - What Family Car would you choose

I'm thinking of upgrading the family transport in the new year and would like your thoughts/views on the options. I think I may be a little blinkered on what I am thinking of getting, so would appreciate your thoughts which may help to remove the blinkers.

Current family motor is:
Seat Leon FR PD170 with Seat BTCC kit, 19's and Remap (215bhp/332ftlb)

The above is a diesel and I have petrol in my veins, so the dugga dugga tractor noise has to go as it's polluting my brain. I much prefer noise out the back rather then through the bulkhead.

Requirements for replacement :
1. Petrol
2. 230-300bhp (starting point)
3. Not High Tax bracket
4. Hatch preferred
5. Not plain Jane or sales rep esq.
6. No chelsea tractors
