had my current car 2 years now and im fed up with it...
getting married next month then ill have some extra £££ that i can free up
need something fun now i think...

Have a works van and about time the mrs gets her own car or she can keep our current car
got a few options im exploring at the moment..

1. subaru impreza sti in blue, round about 04 plate this blob eye?? bug eye was the minging one??

2. evo 8 mr of some sort...

3. m3 which will prob attract half of corsasport but im still not sure about them, saying that ive never driven one so cant really comment until i do...

4. some sort of fast vauxhall / track car / strip... mk4 gsi with vxr engine m32 box etc

Budget up to £12k thats me taking into consideration parts and servicing etc

could stretch further if it was something economical and posh

whats your thoughts and what would you choose....?

for 12k you would be looking at a far newer subaru then that! or for 12k you could get a spec-c blobeye or 400bhp+ sti from around 2004 era

M3 is probably the better "overall" car, but if you are looking for something to tune get an evo/scoob!

personally I think specialists are better, main dealers tend to not bother to much and specialists have there reputation to think of so are usually better thats my opinion anyway

Personally I'd get an M3, but I've already done the scoob thing a couple of times so I'm over them now. They're still awesome cars and an evo would be equally as cool. Not sure if any vauxhall could compare.
