What to get next...

    I'm going to change the car over the coming months and I'm not sure what I want. I currently have a Focus ST and I love it, but I change my car every year so its time for it to go.

    My next car doesnt have to be an absolute beast like the ST, but I want something thats fun to drive, looks good, is comfotable and my budget is 10k and i drive about 10k a year so a guzzler isnt to much of a problem.

    I'm currently thinking an Alfa Brera with the 2.4jtdm engine, although i'm not really into diseals but I hear this is the engine to have. I haven't totally decided if I like the rear end of the Brera though so may opt for a 159 TI instead. The problem is sourcing these cars as they are quite rare. Importing from the UK would be expensive at the moment and don't know if i'd get a decent example in my budget.

    I also like the Lexus IS250. I think in the sport version and with the upgraded alloys these car look really well. Very high spec to. Something like this: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4239847.htm

    I also considered a 350z but I dont like the look of them. The RX8 bored me a bit when I drove it and just seems to messy with the wankel engine.

    Anyone got any other suggestions?

    Honda Accord? I like the look of them. Might be a bit over 10k for a newer one, though.

    If you love the Focus then why are you changing it? Seems a strange mentality to have to change a car that you love just because changing cars once a year is something that you do...

    There's one of those Breras here in work. Everytime I walk past it, I jizz a little.

    Nice looking car but, Jesus, the interior is woeful. It really has that plasticky Toyota feel to it. :(
