£10k car options - best 'drivers' car
Discussion
Good evening,
So I'm going to try again with suggestions for my next car as I seem to have fallen out of love with my Golf R32.
I want to spend £10k and I would like the best 'drivers' car I can get for the money. it doesn't need to be the fastest thing, although preferably faster than my current R32.
I have no kids, and only a girlfriend to worry about chauffeuring around so it can be a sports coupe. I'd like it to be an event, whatever I choose. I love the sound of my R but it doesn't seem to be that special, after all it is just a Golf!
I travel 10 miles to work so efficiency isn't important.
Please hit me with some ideas.

I am biased as I have Three of them, a 63amg 55amg & 320 CDI Sport.
Obvious choice a bit more highly strung than the Merc but a good steer

Thanks for the suggestions! Not sure I could live with a Westfield / caterham let alone the girlfriend.
E46 m3, dare I say it, just looks like a 3 series. I'd like something loud and shouty. It also seems that there are hardly any low ish mileage cars left that have not been fettled with.
Budget could be stretched to £15k....

£15k would just about get you into a Cayman S. Love mine. Considered Caterhams, Elise's etc, but the Cayman is so much more useable, is still fairly brisk, and has one of *the* great chassis. Not quite as telepathic as the lightweights, but way better resolved than many cars at that price Look out for (ie read up on and think about) engine issues - bore scoring and IMS are worries :-(
Or take a punt on a 996...
Good luck.
