Weekend car around 10k

[nav456]

I have been looking for a sport weekend car. Every car i look at has horror stories putting me off.

Audi V8 s4 4.2
Subaru impreza 2.5
Bmw 330i or 335i

I really would have loved a v8 audi but they have timing chan issues.

I dont want a porsche boxter.

What would you guys recommend i look at.

Been looking at mazda 3 mps or a megane 2.0t. Dont know much about them.

Worth looking at a ford Focus ST 2.5 engine?

This is the cheaper of my toys, although I don't just save it for weekends. 3 litre straight 6, limited to 155mph, hard top convertible, only 69k miles despite being a 2007 and cost me 6.5k back in Feb' (although I have spent a lot since making the underneath as good as the top and inside). SLK280.
