As per title really. I'm going to be in need of decent sized car soon to use everyday and would like your opinions. It must have 4 doors, be practical, not cost too much to run and have a decent bit of poke.

At the momnet I've been thinking: Audi A3 Quattro or Impreza WRX....

Any suggestions? :confused:

I've got a Impreza Wagon. I'd recommend one to anyboby. Just make sure it's been looked after. My insurance went up £100 per year and it uses a bit more fuel than the 5 did :wasntme:.

:agree:

This one has the mappable ECU and 440 injectors for future modding :agree:

BMW 540i :agree: Pick one up for under £3k, gets to 60 in just over 6 seconds, safe, and fecking comfy. MPG would be about 25 on a run, but I doubt a WRX would be much better than that.

I have a BMW now (E36 325i auto) and I like it. I do suspect though a 540i would be heavy on petrol.....my 325i is pretty poor. :)

and there cheap to kit. I had one, was 1.8t, few changes to the engine and it flew. Used to push 220ish bhp
