Well obviously in an ideal world I'm sure many people would drive an M3. But unfortunately most have to live within their means

or they could just pretend they have one.

Well yes one could always buy a e92 318i and rebadge it with the M.

But then even the 'lowly' 318i is far better than the majority of cars on the road due to its superbly balanced chassis

Only a real one makes you feel like a god.

Eww no thanks, I don't feel the need to pose or bully other drivers

OP, I've got a Hyundai Getz and love it, it turned into the i10 so may be good

I also loved my Corsa and that gave me several years of fun driving!

A 2001-2006 Toyota Corolla springs to mind. 1.4 VVTI petrol would be a good bet.

If you like the looks of the Honda, get a 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.4 petrol

I hope I haven't caused an argument, I shall further my research on the parkers guide, the reviews for the i10 are looking good thanks for the pointer Justin.

There's no argument, it's just that whitecloud663 (as he calls himself this week) gives terrible advice. For instance Japanese cars, and then giving 2 options that are far too big, and aren't particularly small engined or cheap to run. You're best ignoring, he's been spouting this crap for months.

Back on topic, your best bet is to work out the maximum size you can get, and go to a car supermarket and have a look around for anything you like. With the mileage you do, you want petrol but it's not going to make much difference if it's a 1.2 or a 1.4.

I'd probably be looking at the Pugeot 107, the newer Ford Ka, the Kia Picanto or the Hyundai i10, all should be ideal and are pretty small.

Nissan Micra? Small, cheap to run and go on for ages.

(haven't read thread to see if this has already been suggested, sorry)

My mum has Micra after Micra and nothing ever goes wrong with them. Horrid little things but very reliable.

Not you though, only a week or so ago you were busy slagging off the "ultimate M3"...
