Gotta car on my mind and it bores me :-(

[mak]

In a couple of weeks i will have a little spare cash to treat myself to a toy. I have managed to survive with an empty garage for a year now ( just my stinking van for company) and the urge to polish and drive has become to strong to restrain any longer . In this present climate of work and fuel prices i still cant help but " have a word with my self" and say stick it out with my stinking van for another year, after all the car will be stuck in a garage for most of the time and only get used 4 or 5 times a month with my lack of spare time but hey ho .
My list of cars is short, two infact lol, on old 911 turbo (996) or an rs4. There is one problem i have, i cant get the bmw m3 convertible e46 out my head , i just cant help but think for such little money the bmw is one hell of a car, 10-15k 340bhp 4 seats, roof off , i no its no sports car ( i need 4 seats ) and looking a little dated now but can anyone name a better 4 seater fun car for the money .

996 Cab?

Agree M3 is a good car, but lack of roof makes it a bit wobbly.

RS4 Cab???

Did you mean a 4 seat car for £10-15k or one inline with prices on 996 Turbo's?

Sorry guys i ment 4 seater in the m3 price range as opposed to the rather large budget ( for me anyway) i had set for the other 2 cars, i just cant help but think 25-27k stuck in the garage is gonna bug me and for the money a little m3 will cost i cant help but think its all i need for a bit of fun again.

IMO any of those cars could land you some pretty savage running costs. If you've been having to "do without", why not start with something a bit less demanding? Plenty of fun cars out there with less risk of big bills.
