Usual consumables on the m3 as its a big car ! Reasonably bulletproof though unless you go for the smg as these sometimes have problems watch out for rear subframe problems ! I drifted the ass off mine and and had a few cracks on the boot pan ! Sold it after the repair otherwise a grate car ! Oh my alternator jacked it after 45k, and had 2 seized calipers, auto level on the xenons went as well plus a few other bits and bobs ........ Actually it was the most unreliable car I've owned , still a great car though !

As above, I'd get an ED30 Stage 1 Revo, and get your Mrs a Golf TDI 140, and get it remapped to 180,(In case you need to drive it) Doesn't affect the fuel economy, and Storm Developments in Aldermaston will do one of their brilliant maps for 200 quid for that car.

Alternatively, if you've got the classic Mk4 R32 itch that a lot of us on here seem to have, get one of those, They are really special cars IMO.

Or, how about a TVR Griffith if you want a really special weekend car? They are stunning, sound amazing, and are supercar-quick.

Or, (!) An RS4. The noise is unbelievable, I'd personally go for a cabriolet, they look stunning roof down or up, and would again be a cracking weekend car.

The ed30 isn't something I'm considering , been there, was a great car but don't want another , would be a mk5 r32 for that money  ...

Mk4 r32 is one I'm considering , still love the look of them and they're dirt cheap now, again never driven one though ..

Regards the Subaru I like the bug eye I think it is , and the other similar shape or around 2004 , I prefer the way they look to the evo no other reason.

Owned a bug eye sti type uk they are slow it's just noise and god they drink fuel. They need mega power over 350 BHP to be loads of fun I don't think I would own one again the evo for me drive better and are more raw as for the mk4 r32 again been there done that nice car but the seats are like arm chairs just too big and the car is slow but does sound good and I would only own one if I had the funds to turbo it. The big ??? Is do you need more than 2 seats and do you want something just to play with and not bothered about fuel

My mate has a WR1 and out of the box its fantastic.  He managed a 13.2 second 1/4 at the pod with the factory setup.

Awesome brakes as standard, you can move the bias from awd to mostly RWD via a dial next to the driver as well for better handling as well.  Not the best interior though.

Id consider a WR1 above all the other impreza options personally.

Midrange its not the best unless you have the revs up, but you can say that about any evo or impreza tbh, they are mapped to be driveb flat out.   I caught him out big time in my octavia when running stage 2+ though, he kept going on about how quick it was, so i challenged him to a 4th gear @ 2000rpm pull and annihalated him lol.  I even heard him change down a gear to catch me lol.  Flat out he destroyed me though.

S2000 gets my vote from the list so far. Keeps on revving to 9 gazillion and the traction comes from the correct end of the car.  :driver:
