Best performing and looking 1.6 hatchs for 5-8 k?

Humming and hawing between a 1.4 and 1.6 car. I posted the same thread about 1.4 and got great info. I guess if I am looking for performance!, I should consider a bigger size engine also!

Which cars do you like?

I know you asked about 1.6, but what about Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-jet 150BHP.
That's quite well performing hatchback, and if you can get 07 or first half of 08, tax is reasonably low.

Alfa 147 1.6. €5k should pick up a well specced minded one with a decent test and history.

Great cars.

They all look like sweet cars .I have to trade a car in so I have to go with a dealer rather than private sale so my options have been curtailed alot.Added to my personal preference for mileage , colour , etc

Does anyone have an opinion on a peugeot 207 gt vs an astra 1.6 sxi?

Astra is like a model dancer lookswise but a lil dissapointing in the motorway, peugeot is plain looking but is very reponsive/explosive in the motorway

They are two different cars , should I go with the car I like the look of alot more or the car which would be more fun . I can't decide.Which novelty wears off first?

Ah sure if it's just ooomph on the motorway buy a diesel.

Ford Puma 1.7 is pretty quick.

Best looking imo is a blue EP2 Civic, no performance really.
