With only doing 8 miles a day I wouldn't be going Diesel. Probably something outside the box... Corvette or a Holden Maloo etc.

If your going LS, add a bit of boost to increase the fun factor...

EDIT: anyone who says Audi TT should be forced to drive a pink one around A LOT until they are dissuaded from such a foolish notion. They are girls cars, I don't care if it has the engine from Thrust SSC. Nissan 350Z or Alpina BMW would be waaaaaay better.

Bollox. Mk 1 TT is a great car and those that can’t see that are either blinkered or lacking in confidence of their own sexuality/ gender. Less than 2k to get a nice example, quick but safe - grip from all 4 wheels makes such a difference. May not suit all tastes, but certainly not a “girl’s car”.

In a similar situation although current car worth virtually nothing. Was looking at r32 golfs but tax is£550 a year apparently
Would be rather steep for doing 6k miles

8 Miles per day ?

Easy. You obviously like VAG group motors, you want something with a bit of poke, and you do bugger all mileage: Skoda Octavia VRS, hatch or estate. Current model is 230hp, but on your budget you'll be looking at a bit older. Don't like the badge? - you'll have to pay considerably more for a Golf GTi or a Leon, and the Leon looks just so 'meh', ditto Golf estates. As for Audi, be prepared to bend over and hold your ankles when you visit the dealership.

Nowt wrong with the Seat Leon ive had two & wouldnt go past them...
Poor mans Audi maybes but when the current one i have is based on GolfMk7 or in fact its 90% a GTD Golf mk7 there is little to beat them.
features n spec wise. 55mpg 180 odd horses & £20 roadtax i'll be keeping it a long time me thinks.
The Skoda is still the most under rated Car from the VAG stable...
If only SEAT could release there version of the VW's Amorak at sensible £££ id buy one.

Just sold my Leon cupra,best car we have ever had,would have another one tomorrow if we could justify three cars

To be honest it might be worth looking at a hybrid of some kind, Lexus make some nice ones, you could do the daily commute on electric.

This.

I've been thinking of buying a Lexus Rx 450h or Is 300h. Yes they're completely different cars but i quite like the looks of both. Or maybe i buy another Mercedes, W205 would be natural choice since i've a W204 right now.

Has anyone mentioned Subaru's?
Had a few here now and I still keep buying them! You could spend half your budget on the best pre '05 Outback with the 3.0L H6 engine. Amazing tools IMO. Proper 245hp Q car. V comfortable and a properly reliable car - I have always avoided the 2.5L cars re head gasket issues. Easy and cheap to service too. Maybe not the 'coolest' thing out there.....!
Or a good WRX impreza - literally the best fast all weather car ever built.

Dunno why but I always wanted a Mitsubishi evo,I still look occasionally and if the right one comes along who knows,just has to be the right colour and have the right wheels on it

I suppose you're getting on towards mid life crisis age now eh! [emoji12]

 

[Ducati899]

Just need to find one like this,don’t want the bigger one though,too much turbo lag or I’ll just stick to bikes and change the bmw again [emoji85]

 

[JMTHORNLEY]

Oooooh now we talking, I passed up on a HKS 360 once in red!! What a stunning car that was

 

[wdah/him]

am I the only one that sort of fancies a Octavia vxr, are they all awd. might be step down from a disco 3 but surely even a petrol one would be better on fuel

He is a front driver I thought?

 

[Wellytrack]

Evo Engines are hard as nails, the rest of the car isn’t

Option of a Haldex now. Diesel only though
