Its looking like the little Mini is going to be going so as a replacement I've been looking at a nearly new Subaru WRX STi 2.5 5 door or a BMW 123d Coupe, I was thinking of a Ford Focus ST-2 2.5 5 Cyl but they look a bit crap inside. so i've ruled that out but now I'm at a dilema - 1 series coupe or WRX?
I live out in the sticks where 4wd would have been awesome, but the Suburu has the similar sort of economy as the Mini which isnt that good. The 123d is amazing on economy and motorway cruising but the rwd aspect concerns me with the crap weather.
With work I tend to work all around the country, I have a ten mile country lane jaunt to the M1 which i usually enjoy in the mini early at very early mornings then tend to slip into 70ish on the motorway and tend to get some economy but its handy to have some punch to accelerate if needed.
Given the choice what would people go for?
Thanks,
Ian
