Think auto trader and the like is your friend on this one just use your filters and it should come up with a fairly decent selection. Pick out the ones you like and Google reviews etc about them. I like the r32 golf's myself  |

I would say the r32 golf although I think a lot of them come with the dsg semi automatic transmission. Manuals can be had, they're petrol, comfy (leather interior) and good for around 250 horsepower if I remember right! Possibly worth looking into |

"The Parkers website has Reviews And information for every make and model. It's probably worth looking on there."
Golf
Skoda RS Octavia
Seat Leon
( all roughly the same car, in effect)
All have option of DSG gearbox which is outstanding ( with or without paddles )
For a smaller one, the sporty Skoda Fabias are pretty good ( though they look horrid) |

If you're wanting a hot hatch I'm presuming you want something fast.
With £8k you've got plenty to choose from.
with £8k you could buy a civic type R that's had a turbo/supercharger conversion and have silly amounts of power 
Alternatively be uber original and get an ST 
I'd be checking out a Subaru too, £8k will get you a nice one second hand |

"Forget a hatch and get yourself a 350z
Alternatively, an RS Megane, Golf V GTI/MK 4 R32 or an FN2 Type R.
All depends on what you like. I prefer NA to turbo and RWD, plus manual. I'm old skool"
I would possibly steer clear of the FN2 type r if you value your spine. It was described by our Lord and saviour, Jeremy Clarkson, as being "stiffer than a corpse on viagra".
I've never had any experience with corpses, viagra, or any mixture of the two however, I have had experience of the FN2 and can completely back that statement up! |
