Cheers guys, didnt even think about the TT's or Leons, worth looking into.... Would love to go old skool but it will be used/abused most probably and would hate something retro to get bashed about, car park dings etc, plus reliability could be an issue. VRS Fabia - sorry but i'm one of those people who just couldnt buy a Skoda! (not sure why but im still blinded by the skoda badge!)..... The megane looks nice, wouldnt they have the same build quality as the clios though?

Cheers
Chris
