Just had a look and yep, some of them are around 10k (I haven't looked in ages) but even if I got one, I would have to factor in high insurance, petrol, tax and servicing. I would just prefer something a bit newer for that money, and have always had a soft spot for the 2L clio 
the clio 2l is almost as fast as the v6 the v6 is only faster on top speed and also like u say its much cheaper to run the 2l but the v6 is a rare car so the value should go up in a few years

well just googled the Ibiza Cupra SC, first impressions, looks good, very fast 0-60 6.8, hight tech, DSG and all that, probably the cheapest fastest hatch out AND then I looked at the interior and it all went shaped like a pear

saying that, we bought a renault senic new a few years back and the engine mounts snapped within the first 6 months. That hasn't put me off getting my own Renault and was probably just unlucky, which could happen to any make of car.
