    Have to buy a care over the next couple of weeks. Have been thinking about what i want the last few months but havent been able to settle on anything. I have up to 10k to spend on the car.

    I want it to be different, fast(ish), good looking with a bit of class, with loads of toys and good value for money.
    Other than that im open to anything. Im open to buying somthing that only costs 1k as i am to something costing 10k, once its the right car and suits me. I'll even pay the high tax for the right car.

    I'm 29 yo and do about 10k a year city driving. o kids or anything so a 2 seater will do

    I've taken a fwe of the following for a spin but im still undecided.

    Mazda RX8 - loved it except for the lack of torque. Was going pretty fast but it didnt feel fast. When i got out i was very "meh" about it so didnt buy it. That was the 231bhp version. So i took that of my shortlist.

    Alfa 159/Brera 2.4JTD - Love the looks, the comfort and I love Alfas. However when i took a 159 for a spin it just felt like a big tank and there wasnt as much power as i had hoped. There just doesnt seem to be a decent petrol engine choice for this car ( cant find a 2.2jts in ireland and dont have time to import). And the diseal didnt do much for me.

    Honda S2000 - The interior is so bland for my liking. I love loads of toys and comfort and this doesnt really seem to have that, but makes up for that with that vtec engine. Am going to take one for a spin though and see what i think. Would have to be a hardtop though.

    Honda Integra DC5 - I personally like the look but the other half thinks its far to chav. Hate the rear spoiler though. AMy take one for a drive to see what i think.

    Volvo S40 T5 - I like the look, its fast, comfortable and well equipped but it didnt wow me at all.

    Nissan Murano - ye i know its a big 4x4 but they can be got for peanuts. its just something bit different, Have all the toys you could ask for, they seem good value for money. May take one for a spin to see what i think.

    Not into the 350z (cant stand the look of it).

    Anything ive left out? So far im more into the 159 than anything else...
