Looking to get rid of my current car as it needs about £1k spending on it to get it through the MOT that's due in a couple of months. Current car is a 3.2 V6 TT. It's the Mk1 version, I've really enjoyed this car, love the speed of it but it's cost me a lot in the past with various issues and with this latest list of things that need doing and the fact the cars probably only worth about £4k I think it's time to update.
The problem is that I don't really want to be spending a fortune on a new car but I have expensive taste. I really want a fun little car but my wife says I should get something more sensible so I don't have to change again when we have kids. My choices so far are...
VW Scirocco - Would cost around £10k and would be somewhat suitable for family. I think it's starting to look a bit dated now as it's 6 years old and they'll probably do a new one soon.
Merc SLK - Would cost £15k and completely unsuitable for family. Love these though!
Maxda MX-5 - Would be dirt cheap, probably only a couple of thousand but unsuitable for family. Not overly keen on these but they are apparently good fun.
Fiesta ST or similar - Fits the family bill but I'm worried I'd hate it. Would only be about £5k to get.
Any other suggestions or opinions on the options above would be much appreciated.
