Hi all,

Just been approved for a loan of 7K which is coming through shortly, I have about 1K saved in cash and will have proceeds from selling my escort GTi.

Criteria:

Modern Looks
3 door (coupé pref)
Fun to drive
Prestige is nice but not be all and end all
"fast" (circa 150-170bhp)
Insurable (Group 15 or under)

So far I've looked at

BMW 320 Ci - Can't seem to find any in price range with decent mileage
Lexus IS200 - Look good, well specced, but slooow (not driven one just from word of mouth)
Focus ST170 - Not impressed, for a car thats supposed to be 170bhp and 'sporty' it didn't really push my buttons

Suggestions appreciated

Cheers.
