10k to spend on a fun car

[riiggs]

Im looking for a fun car to keep for a year and would like some ideas.
It has to have 4 seats so I can take the kids to school and I dont want too much depreciation after a year (a grand or so is ok).
I like small good handling cars but Im open to any ideas. I will be buying a second hand gt86 when I get one for about 15k so Im looking for something in the mean time. A clio rs200 is one car im looking at. What would you buy?
Thanks,
John

Feels like i answer this to every question on PH but a mk1 Focus RS

Thanks Dave.
Ahh yes I had forgotten about those. I have been to look at one a few years ago but was put off a little by the interior.
I might have another look.

A Monaro? Guaranteed smiles per mile and you won't lose anything in depreciation as prices are now rising

Thanks for your replies.
I have never even considered a merc but that clk55 might be a bit of fun as long as it dosent break! are they all automatics?

CLS 55 AMG - or E55K AMG Brutus sounds and holy st speed (9-10second cars to 100mph)




I want one badly and its more economical than what I drive currently what's not to like.
