I really like the new Fiesta ST, i prob could stretch to the £13,500 on the road price but the thing that biting me is the instant depreciation as soon as i drive off of the forecourt

I'm looking prob around Feb/March to actually do something, i just dont REALLY know what to go for tho I'm ever considering something with a different badge on the boot

Heres my needs.............

1. MUST be reliable, because of my job. (so must be fairly new-ish)
2. MUST have fairly sensible servicing costs.
3. Needs to be small (3 door hatchback i.e. Clio, Type-R)
4. Around a 2.0 litre engine with or with a Turbo.

Any suggestions and experiences with any small fast hatchbacks would be really apprciated.

I'm swaying towards a Type-R, any feedbck on these at all??

All and any help needed as i'm fooking well confused!!
Yeh i too am going for a type r in the new year-read this link that has some good info from peeps
