Right gents, opinions please. On a 15k max budget what's the options out there. Looking for something that is an everyday car but will give a bit fun at the weekends, by fun I mean something that's going to give a bit of a spirited drive. It doesn't need to be a tarmac shredder possibly around the 200-250 horse mark. Probably no older than 2010, don't want estates or convertibles. Can be a coupe or saloon,
Fiestas/Audi TT are slightly smaller than I'd like but the latter would be considered. At the minute the MK3 focus ST is fairly high up the list, Iv had a look at Audi S3, c class AMG mercs and BMW 3.0l msports, anything else to add to the list??
As it's a daily driver I'd don't really want anything mega thirsty or that's costs £500 a year to tax.
So what's your opinions on it?

The Focus ST is pretty damn thirsty. Fiestas/Audi TT are slightly smaller than I'd like but the latter would be considered. At the minute the MK3 focus ST is fairly high up the list, Iv had a look at Audi S3, c class AMG mercs and BMW 3.0l msports, anything else to add to the list??

You might be thinking of the MK2 5 cylinder engine. I've done 50,000 since new in my march 2015 MK3 and have averaged 34.3 mpg. I dont think thats too shabby for a car that spends a lot of time in overtaking lanes. RaymondVanDerDon said:

That's fairly decent, I like the Focus, ticks a lot of the boxesGassing Station | Car Buying | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
