Been scouring AT / Pistonheads & found some of these on 06/07 plate for like 11k!
Seems a bit alright.
Are they any good?
I know someone on here has one................
0-60 in 6.2s, 152mph. 225bhp. Seems ok 
Whats the build like on them?

Dunno, you can get a lot for £12k, do you needa big car or would you be interested in stuff like S2Ks?

Was after getting a BMW M3 but now quite like the idea of something 1-2 yrs old.
Hassle free motoring.....possibly!

Is the choice between an M3 and a Ford Focus not a no brainer?

At 1st it was but im sort of realising a 1/2yr old car with 10-20k will be nicer to own just now than a 6/7yr old one with 70-80k!?

Not really, the M3 is 2002/90k and the Focus 2006/20k and has balance of manufacturers warranty. I had this exact choice to make with an old Mercedes and a new Vauxhall and went boring and safe.
