Not having a go at you (im sure evrybody else will enjoy doing that...) but I seriously think you should lower your expectations and criteria a bit mate. The term 'champagne lifestyle on a lemonade wage' comes to mind! Just trying to be realistic, but you dont currently have a job do you? If iv missed something and you do have one then im sorry... But either way, you are only ~20 and if you are unemployed at that age, I think aspiring to a car which is relativley quick, well specced, reliable etc is a bit much. Im lucky that my dad gave me a decent lump towards my Bora, but if he didnt id still be in a 306/205 or similar, as are Jake/Declan/Sam etc, and alot of people I know from school have decent jobs and still only drive 'average' cars. What do your friends drive and what are they like with jobs/income?!
Honestly dude, you dont 'need' a car to your specification, it would just be nice, wouldnt it? And until you can afford to insure, fuel and repair a better/more expensive/less economical car then you should just make do with what you can have easily. I know people my age who would be over the moon to get a 306 with half leathers and a decent HDi engine standard, they are good solid nice cars, certainly at least for somebody in a position like you.
