if you can, stretch the budget for R2500 and you can pick up something that will last you a lifetime like a 9887 or something

Pioneer and Kenwood are also good brands bud. First compare the specs between the different brand and models then make up your mind. Also check for reviews online.
Ex:
13' Audi A4 B8.5 1.8T SE - OEM+
'15 MKVII GTi
'07 MKV GTi OEM+
'89 MKII Golf CSL OEM
'97 MKIII GTi Exec
'92 MKII Jetta CLi 2.0 16v Exec
