What about a Japanese import, an acquaintance of mine runs a small import business for Nissan, Datsun, Toyota etc?
They always seem to sell quickly, especially the Starlets etc
Oh man, you were doing so well with that 1.9 GTI...A Toyota Starslut (as we used to call them when growing up...) that is like a poor mans Nissan Micra data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Can’t remember if the Renault 5 turbo has been mentioned?

Peugeot 306 gti-6 quite refined for its time and a sleeper of a hot hatch
Stick with the Pug then
Another I always fancied after a friend had one when they first come out was fiat coupe 20v turbo
I thought about mentioning that, but it's nowhere near as nice looking as the 205 GTi.
Now they were rapid, awful build quality but very quick it seemed
I remember being at Santa pod one year and their car club was there. They were all running 12-13s quarters.
I never forget being humiliated by a Citroen AX GTI at Santa Pod...Whilst I had several more multiples in power in my BMW....It taught me a good lesson that a lot of it is all about the weight.
