    Other than that all I can think is either another Focus or a Mazda 3.

    I did think of maybe the ubiquitous Qashqai. I've not driven one though so I'm not sure what they're like.

    Are you wanting petrol or diesel ?

    If petrol then what about vw's 1.4 turbo and supercharged engine. It is a little gem. If diesel and bmw do it properly and get the twin turbo 123d. The post 2007 320d is a great engine too. I have a fabia vrs as I love the torque and mpg of a diesel but I use it around town and didnt want to worry about having a dpf

    I don't mind either petrol or diesel. As long as it's not doing 30 mpg :D

    Then bluefin it and it'll do 0-60 at 6 secs. 240-250 bhp:D
    My old 05 120d had a tuning box on it and it used to pull away from civic type R's.Round town that box would still bring in 40 mpg but with 200bhp.

    I remember those days, lol!

    That BMW looks nice but the spec isn't that great - no cruise control, bluetooth etc has it?

    Don't think it has either, no. I thought that the rear drive and engine might make up for it :D

    Not sure what the buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel are?

    Nice!!! Bluetooth can be added to stereo (I think) worth checking.Not sure if one series had cruise control though.Test drive one then you will know if its your kind of car.If you're over 6ft tall it will be cramped.

    Thank you all for your advice but I'm afraid I've pussied out and just bought something uncomplicated with only 20K miles.

    Not the actual car but identical.
