In need of a new car but not sure what to get!

Running a Mercedes Vito at the mo as am into mountain bike racing,
previously owned a Monaro, Integra DC5, and a Noble M12 GT03r.

Fancy something fairly quick again not to boring but also that I can get bike in or on (towbar etc)
Thinking maybe new Subaru wrx sti but not sure?

Any ideas would be great! Got about 17k ish to spend

one of these:



like a Monaro but room to chuck your muddy bike in the back!

no idea how much they are new, but I am sure you could get a second hand one for £17k

or they have the slightly lower spec Holden Ute SS which are cheap as chips..........er..in Australia paperbag
