Thanks for the replies it's good for thought, I'm leaning towards petrol as opposed to diesel.

Had a chat with a friend re Cooper and decided to scratch that option from my potential list.

The golf GTI did come up in my searches also, the 4 door option is appealing re kids seats when required.

Did come across this on DD which I think is lovely, somewhat rare and should be a bit of fun to drive, it's beyond what I am willing to spend at the moment
