Not botherd about mods but I like a little remap so I don't get bored.

Must be sanely economic. Give you a nice feeling when driving it

Can get shopping in

Must be fast and handle relatively well. And comfy. 5 seats, 4/5 doors.

Budget max £12500

Been looking at the 335i. No shouty spoilers should get past the wife's anti-fun radar. Must have 4 doors minimum though to get the baby in the back too so fits the bill.

Is the M3 e90 not a sports car? Maybe the RS4. Most Subaru/evo's.

Sure there are more. Just need them within my price range and the right mixture of everything else.

E90 M3 if you can find one at that money!

Otherwise, the 335i Touring is a good shout.

Neither is a sports car. But the OP does not want a sports car. He wants a saloon / estate with decent handling, a bit of feedback and lots of poke. Handling and feedback requirements rule out Audis.

The suggestion of a diesel Golf made me cry.
335 might be a good shout, if he finds an M3 at that budget, I wouldn't buy it tbh. There'll be something badly wrong with it.
Aye, highly unlikely for an M3, but 335i is definitely a contender. Will look for a test drive in one.
