Seat Toledo 1.8 20V or the 2.3 V5 might be fun enough, though not a true hatchback.

bought my 03 plate impreza for 4k from a dealer last November with 29k on the clock and full dealer history, its not a go faster version though,,
2.0 gx estate AWD, (means you get hi/lo ratio box on the estate and i can fit a kids plastic paddling pool in the back hahaha....
so you might be able to track down a facelift 04 version for 4k, Saloons usually sell for 500 more (well thats what i found anyway).
But to be honest if I was going to buy something and only run it for a year and would want an easy sell after that time. I'd be looking for mainstream cars..
the focus and astra estates will always sell easily enough and you should be able to track down one thats reasonably local.....I drove 70miles each way to get my impreza.
yep you can find a higher milage wrx or import sti. But after 12months it might not be so easy to sell a group 20 insurance car which does 25mpg on a good day...but yeh its fun...then again after 260Bhp ish...you might find the new wedding pressie mx5 a bit sluggish.....

... or of course the Leon Cupra.
I've had mine nearly 4 years, it still makes me smile and only things it's needed is 2 new tyres and decent wiper conversion .

Surprised you have to ask with your name being what is! As mpg isn't an issue then a Subaru Legacy GT or GTB, twin turbo, 280 bhp, Bilstein suspension on the GTB, bags of space for "family." Plenty of them around some quite good ones well cared for by enthusiasts. Prices must be just about as low as they'll get so pay around £2500 to £3,000 and the £1,000 of loose change will cover the first 4,500 miles of fuel. No kids on the horizon? Impreza or Evo. Don't like spoilers? A V6 Alfa?

Nissan 200 SX, real screamer they are.

Some sort of SEAT Cupra type thing?
