What are some good, fun, comfy used hatchback I can get for around 5 grand or less if I'm never, ever, ever, ever going to race anyone? Which I'm not.
I want a hot hatch, but I also *need* a car within the next month and I need it to be dependable, not much older than 5 or 6 years old, and not beaten to hell. I really need the practicality of a hatchback with tons of room in the boot, and while I want the high performance of a Mk6 GTI or Fiesta ST or something, I don't really need it right now and want to get a newer used car without paying for extra for something I'm rarely going to use.
And it's not just about money, it's about being able to FIND something. EP3's, EK9's, Focus SVT's, impossible to find in decent condition. I've been looking forever.
All my research into hatchbacks keeps getting diverted into hot hatchbacks, which is great, I love them, but it's not what I reeeeally need right now. Looking at Sonics, Yarises, regular Golfs, Fits, Mazda3's, Suzuki SX4's, even Scion xD's etc
Are you sure you can't afford around 8.5? If you're in the US, I'll sell you my speed3.

Thanks user but yeah that's a bit much. Looking to pay cash and if I'm gonna finance 3.5k, I might as well finance more and get an ST or something.
Adrian Sanders
I'd buy one.

Speed3 is faster than st but fair enough, especially if you want newer since the speed3 doesn't exist anymore. If you change your mind, this is a 2011 and has the highest trim so bose system with sub, keyless entry/push to start, different headlights that turn with the corner, ect. If you are ok with 3 door hatches look into the fiat 500s, I think you can find them for 6kish now and probably wouldn't be as beat up as the others you're checking out since it's a rather normie car.

Depending how hard you troll around looking for used cars, but in my part of the country, you'd be hard pressed to get an actual hot hatch for that kind of money without it coming with a ton of problems, hell the "best" deal I found was a guy who had a horrible monthly payment for his Abarth 500 and wanted someone else to take the car and loan as his wife cucked him into getting an SUV.

Damn user that is fucking nice. Why are you selling it? I'm not in a position to buy it right now but maybe someone else in the thread is. Good shit

I realized it's not exactly what I want/need. I don't need the space, don't want the height/weight of the ride. The power is fantastic but I can't help but feel I'm in a monster truck. Trying to get a boxster S after I sell it and would prefer to do it privately so I know that it can go to someone who wants to love it like it deserves. Kinda wish I didn't dump money into it, got SRI on it, cobb rear motor mount, hpfp upgraded, and AP3 with a 93/e85 tune.

>his wife cucked him He did that to himself when he bought a fiat
