Howdy do and welcome. If I was to change my current scoob for another I would go jdm
Hurst cars seem to have good cars, lots of posts on *coobynet about them ,positive and negative. They had a nice ra-r on reasonable mileage not so long ago but it was at the top end I was very tempted to go and view and the research I did on them they seemed ok imo.
You don't fancy a new civic type r then, I just read the review on PH ,you could use your budget for the deposit and stop eating to pay for the monthly payments
Good luck with your search.
