Hi PistonHeaders,

I'm facing a bit of a dilemma at the moment and would love some other feedback from those who might have been in a similar boat.

I've got the green light from the boss at home to get another car for my touring round the UK for work. I run my own business and we're on the cusp of a big deal that will result in having to travel round the UK a bit more than I already do.

I really want to get a RWD as once I've bought the car from PCP i'll most likely try and take what ever I settle on to the occasional track-day to satisfy my inner boy racer.

I can't go too extravagant; it has to have 5 doors (to get car-seats in the back) and not be overly racey in appearance to upset the ageing neighbours...

My options I've narrowed down at this point are (not in any specific order):

- BMW 3 series
- Mercedes C class / CLA Shooting Brake
- Alfa Giulia
- Lexus IS
- Audi A4 (not RWD)

Are there any others I should be considering, and are there any on my short-list that you would vouch for?

Thanks all!

None of those will be great track day cars even occasional one, I'd say look at the i30N:
