Hi all,

Ive recently just sold a MK5 R32 due to saving for a house but i only sold it to have a fresh start and clear myself of outgoings ready, so i wont acutally be purchasing a new car for about 6 months. However, my predicament is; i would like to have decided prior to those 6 months so i can read up about said decision, get info and know the cars etc.

Criteria;

The replacement will NOT be driven daily as i now have a work van including personal use
I do NOT want to spend a penny over £15k
I do NOT want to be looking at cars with over 70k miles on if possible
Recently drove a 370 Mazda 3 MPS and since its no longer a daily driven vehicle, fun must be a factor hah!

Ive narrowed it down a few times although i always end up switching up since i cant keep a valid decision. Yet.

Scirocco R - Ive had VAG's for the past 5 years, so i know them and have had a Scirocco but not the R so would be nice! (FWD 300+ HP being the concern, but interior and options keeping me interested)

Evo 8/9 - VERY different i know, but the fun to be had looks amazing and not to mention power! 4WD luring me in too since ive come from and S5, TTS and R32. (downers being older models, mine field to buy modded etc.)

BMW 535D - Having worked for BMW i know the turbo wastegates on these are made of playdough. However, comfort and wafting is what these do well which i like, upsides being 5 door, saloon's, high torque output. (Downs being DIESEL frown)

Any input will be great as i may have missed potential great cars!

Thanks,
Conor.
