As above, preferably a 3 door hatchback or 2 door coupe (Evo's or Impreza's don't really interest me).
- Less than £20k
- Good performance (preferably 300bhp+ for an idea)
- Good handling (must be fun to drive)
- Good interior specification
I only do about 5k miles a year so fuel isn't much of an issue; and I turn 25 this year with 7 years or so NCB so insurance isn't also much of an issue.
Here's the type of car I'm thinking about:
- 07-08 Audi S3 - around £14k but similar to my Edition 30 really
- 02-04 Porsche 996 C4S - around £20k but quite expensive to run/maintain and the IMS engine issue bothers me
- BMW E46 M3 - around £10-15k but I realise there's some bad examples out there
- Focus RS Mk2 - a bit more than £20k for a good example with both Lux packs
- BMW E90 335i - around £15k - well spec'd and very good performance but I don't know if they're more of a cruiser than something to take around the country lanes
Any ideas!?
