Looking to replace my car(1.6 diesel) for a little while since it’s become a bit of a nuisance and quite frankly I’d like something with a bit more punch. Was wondering what sort of things I’d be looking at around this price, while I could go past the budget I’d rather not as the car I replace it with will most likely be relatively short term. I’ve been looking at things like 325i’s because na 6 cyl could be fun, pretty reliable but also 20 years old now. I’d like some suggestions, 2 door hatches like the megane’s won’t really work and I do a 100 mile round trip around once a week so there’s that. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: By sporty I’d like something with around 200hp, fairly nimble, enough to not feel like a barge and some overtaking power not really going to go b-road bashing with it. Appreciate the help.
