Could have been a 3 door hatchback with coupe bumpers fitted. It's a popular mod to fit coupe bumpers. I don't like it myself but let these wannabe coupe owners do what they like I say, LOL. They also made a few GTi turbo hatches!!!!
As you say, insurance is very high. Due to my modifications, they bump mine up from insurance group 17 to 18 which is basically Porsche land.
It's for sale if you know anyone....£2750, I live in Croydon, Surrey (UK for the uninformed)
