new daily drive, ideas

[a1rak]

Need to change my daily drive so have been given it some thought.

hot hatch or 4 door sporty Focus ST type of car

must be less than 3 years old

have 4 or 5 doors

cost around than 12K

so far I considered:

BMW123D although these are a bit to expensive

Focus ST

Mazda MPS mk2. (best so far)

Any other ideas

you could get a cooper s and spend a few £k on it at 1320
I'm 'minding' my mates cooper s at the the moment, it's had a few upgrades from 1320 and is an amazing little car..

EDIT: scrub that, get this!

Can you scrape a golf gti in for that money?

Mazda MPS is stonkingly rapid in a straight line for such a grey looking car.

I came across one whilst out playing in the Caterham and it put up far more of a challenge in a straight line that I expected!
