One of the below:
Porsche 911
Corvette C6
Audi RS4
M3 CSL
Ferrari 348 with F355 mods.
And just to add to the living at home situation, you can't fully develop as a person until you move out and stand on your own two feet, it's something we all have to go through if you can do it before 25 then good on you.

RS4 - Hardly known for being great compared with stuff for the same money.
M3 CSL - I know people rave and rave about these but is it really worth double a standard e46 M3.
Not picking your choices out just wondering if they are what you would seriously spend £25k on?

Then the OP must be very developed given he's been living abroad, presumably not with his parents? Good to see this development worked well on him

Go spend some time in an M3 CSL and you will understand, regardless of how minimal the perceived differences might be i simply couldn't own a normal E46 M3 without getting in it every morning wishing it was a CSL.
Audi RS4 wise (i'm talking B5), I love the shape of the Avant, love the tuning potential and love the lolz 4wd grip.

Different strokes for different folks - I couldnt own an E46 M3 CSL without getting into it every morning wishing it was an M3 CS, or actually given pricing these days, an E92.

I've been living self sufficiently by myself in Japan for 20 months.
There's lots of single room accommodation here, but not in Hertfordshire.
I guess I'll have to look into house sharing in London, once I get settled. Can't see me taking on a mortgage though.
I'm struggling with the reasoning behind that though, I appreciate some people prefer to rent for various reasons, but not getting a mortgage if you're in a position to do so because the bank owns part of your home is never one of them
E46 M3 wouldn't exactly be the best idea for a track car, as a comfortable coupe thats quick yeah............
Better to spend the 12-15k on a M3, and spend 10k on a proper track car.
Ah, I think you're referring to racing, I'm not
It's a perfect car to have super fun happy times in, like this:
And the safest place to have such a super fun happy time is on a track!
You try doing that on a trackday and you'll last 2 laps before you get black flagged and sent home without a refund.
Yes - because I am not Andy Priaux and therefore would not be driving my CSL around day to day on the limits of adhesion revelling in the extra performance and handling the CSL's tweaks gave me.
Instead, it would be my car - it would entertain me on the right road, it would cosset me on the Motorway and it would take me too and from work. It would gleam in the sunshine on the driveway after I'd polished it.
For my needs, and I suspect those of 99% of the rest of us as well, an M3 CS, which had some of the CSL tweaks but retained the standard M3 practicality and level of equipment, would be a far more complete car.
Most peoples driving is not at 8000rpm. The rest of the time, an M3 CSL is a 7 year old BMW 3 Series with no kit.
